Default wonky flying geese - need help

I am currently piecing a top with 3 flying geese units in each block before adding triangles around the FG. I am very careful to mark my little squares diagonally for the flying geese and sew very straight down the diagonal lines, etc. I press carefully after each corner is sew, the add the other corner and repeat. Nonetheless, I still do not end up with a perfect rectangle. It's always smaller than the 5 inches it's supposed to be in some part of the FG. It will be 5" in some places but not consistent through out the rectangle. Any suggestions....how do you prevent this? I'm open for all kinds of suggestions.
