I hope the pictures help show my problem. All of myy blocks are supposed to finish at 8 1/2" square. They are for the most part. But when I sew the setting square to the block the points are off. I'm assuming that the pink, green and purple are supposed to come to a point without a margin once the two blocks are joined. My seam is a 1/4" so do I cut the blocks down so that there is only 1/4" past the points and cut all my other blocks to whatever size that ends up? Can you tell I'm still pretty much a newbie? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

Block before joining. Measures 8 1/2" sq. From pink point to edge of square is closer to 3/8" than 1/4".
