Trouble pieceing qst to sq
I am following a pattern for a "Four Patch Star"
Each 12" block is made up of four rows.
My trouble is with row 2.
Row 1 consist of 4-2" sqs, to be sewn together. No problem, I really like working with the little pieces. So I now have a center sq to be set on an angle.(square on a cornor)
Row 2 this is my trouble spot. This consists of 4-3&7/8" triangles (qst). They are to be place on the center sq, but when I add the second piece the outside edges of the two triangles are very uneven 1/8 to 1/4" off. I am adding my second row by matching the point of my triangle to the center point of the center sq.and matching the ends evenly, this leaves those little points, I have tried leaving them and cutting them neither seems to help.
I really like this pattern and want to use it, I also do not give up on challenges very easily, Hope someone can help.
I am doing something wrong but cannot figure out what. I looked at the tutorials, the only one I saw that would show these two pieces did not help me with my problem.
The pattern I am using only gives a picture of the block piecing.
