Take the FINISHED size of the square you want and add 7/8 of an inch.
example:
for a finished size 2 inch square you will cut your fabric 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"
for a finished size 3 inch square you will cut your fabric 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"
for a finished size 4 inch square you will cut your fabric 4 7/8" x 4 7/8"
And so on, either make you freezer paper pattern or up with a rotary cutter and ruler.

Turn and do the same thing on the other side.
(when I have many to sew, I do chain piecing, one right after another, not stopping the machine until all finished and then turn and do the other side)
If NEW do them one at a time.

Press your seam to the dark fabric and trim the end tail off.
I recently posted a block on Facebook and there was a lot of take about points.
Here's how I do it.
Pieced together a triangle to a block
Added this as a strip to another piece. Pin as much as you need, check as you pin to make sure
you have the 1/4 seam allowance.
On this seam I had to move the needle in just 2 threads to make the point perfect.
Press the fabric
