Unhappy Need some advice

So, I have been trying my hand at this piecing, quilting craft. I have pieced a few tops under careful guidance of a friend and had them quilted by someone else.

I have tried every thing possible to get my blocks to measure correctly but I still seem to end up with wonky blocks that are not the same size as required.

I have marked my machine with 1/4 inch...
bought a special plastic piece to attach to the bed of the machine ( which is stupid because I have a drop in bobbin and have to realign it after I replace the bobbin thread.
I have moved my needle over in order to get that SHY 1/4 inch that everyone talks about. After doing there's various things I am at my wits end. I am really ready to give it up!
Before I do.... Any suggestions?
