I'm with those who say unsew it and do it again. If you have to resew a bias seam multiple times, consider recutting the piece and starting over, as they are apt to stretch, giving you a different problem.
However, next time, you might consider doing the squaring with each of the subcomponents. You'll be happier with your finished product.
Another option for the future is to paper piece the tricky parts whenever possible. This usually produces a good result also.
