Default 1/8" seam allowances

Anyone willing to help out a newbie, please? I am making a quilt for my nephew's wedding in December and I bought the kit at a show (I can't go buy this fabric at a LQS).

I swore I cut the 3 1/8" squares out perfectly and measured where I need to sew and cut to make 1/2 square triangles, but the results, of sewing 2 of the triangles to make a 2.75" square, didn't come out as they should. I am finding I need to only give 1/8" seam allowance in order to make the 2 3/4" squares (or close enough to fudge).

yes, the 1/8" seam allowance is on the bias. will this work out ok?

I have given up the Internet for Lent (broke it to post this question for I am worried), but I will check back in on Sunday.
thank you so much!
