Mostly if you start with an HST square that is cut accurately and you pay attention to tacking the corners together you should have good points. The edges of your blocks should always meet and match. If they don't then you need to do some damage control. That means see if your seam needs to be fixed or you just don't have the blocks together quite right.
Sometimes I get in a hurry and I don't tack the corners together and then my seam isn't coming out right on the edge. Where your two blocks meet on the corner should be even and when you open the two blocks up you should see a straight line along the two blocks. If you don't have that then now is the time to do some trouble shooting not after the quilt block is all put together. Prevention saves alot of headache!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
