Do you mark the diagonal line on the green square and sew on the line?
Do you press the green triangle half back or do you finger press it before you place the green square on the opposite side? I do not trim my excess until the FG unit is fully assembled because pressing can distort things.
Do you use a scant 1/4" when you sew the FG units together?
Do you pin the FG units together before sewing them together?
These are all things that I can think to check.
