Love you blocks buddy's mom... you did an awesome job on them!!

I'm having issues with mine...it's applique' and I've tried 2 methods and am just about to try a third. The first method was turning under... but that left little frays on the points..the second method I tried was I kind of cheated and digitized the shape, cut it out, turned it and pressed.. but lost my points...I'm thinking of just using steam a seam, so I know I'll have points on these things...

I could just applique it on my embroidery machine, but then I'm afraid it'd have little pokeys...

Then on the simple block.. with the 9 patch and 2 squares... I had 1/4 inch seam all around... when I stitched the first block together, it came out 4.5...and I remeasured and did another one, same thing. So I ripped those out, (the 4 blocks) and made them come together with a very scant 1/4 seam.. in places it almost looks like 1/8" and now it measures 5", BUT the 9 patch looks wonky...

I'm just about to scream!!! this shouldn't be that hard, but it is...what am I doing wrong?
