Stitch on the line.
Then after you cut the excess off, leaving 1/4" for the seam.
If the small square has set squarely on the large square as you sewed, once you flip the piece over and press it, you should have a square corner.
Continue on for all four corners!
Good Luck!! ...
My first quilt was with snow balls. I would highly recommend starching your fabric. You are working with bias and when you press you could contort your square. There is a difference between pressing and ironing, and starch helps prevent mis-shaped blocks.
