I just finished putting together my Carpenters star and had the same problem. My points are all over the place, some match, most don't. I was so careful, starched the pieces, perfect 1/4" seam, squared up each block as I went and still it is not good. Very disappointed. I feel your pain.

My first 2 quilts were Hunter's Stars, I paper pieced them both and had no problem. I had them professionally quilted, and the ladies in the store were very surprised that they were made by a beginner. I hope you're not too discouraged to try again!

I taught the Rapid Fire Hunter's Star by Deb Tucker to 17 quilters of various abilities and they all did well. You do need to read the directions carefully and do as she says. You are not smarter than Deb Tucker, regardless of how long you have been quilting. She designed this ruler and knows how to use. You can also see tutorials on her website using the ruler.
