When I made the previous block after a long gap I forgot my approach to machining these. I struggled because I made finished size templates to cut out the pieces so I had no markings to assist me with tricky inset seams and angles. This time I placed finished size templates on the fabric and outlined the sewing line adding dots to the stopping places and then inserted the pencil in my brass quilters' wheel to follow around the card template to mark the cutting line. The latter is a wonderful device.

This shows the template, wheel and my drawn lines on a background piece.
