Jamie if you sew a half squre triangle block -you'll see one below and them sew two blocks together. If you have the corners of your square so the seam is in the evenly in the middle of tht two fabrics you will get a point that is 1/4" from the edge after you sew the two together.

Just make sure your seam comes out in the middle at each corner and make sure you are using a 1/4" seam allowance and your points will fall in place.

I use this nearly everyday in what I do. I use more half square triangles than anything else.

Hope this helps!
