the triangle looks great, i think the size should be just a smidge larger. what i would do is when you're trimming the sections down to put together just cut them slightly larger then the cut line on the paper piece pattern.
what i typically do to achieve this is i place my ruler on the darker seam line at the 3/8 mark instead of the 1/4.
for me its easier to see the darker seam lines then it is to see the light colored dashed lines.
