Press carefully when you make or cut the 1/2 square triangle blocks. If all the sizes are the same then carefully pin your center seams and using that 1/4" seam try to sew them.
Another thing if you are trimming your 1/2" square triangle blocks make sure you are taking a little off each side, not all off one or two sides.
Keep trying. Maybe watch the video again.
HTH

The top two don't look so bad. Check that seam on the bottom two.
I'm using the sew around. Not doing something right.
