Agree ... will add.
If the block is slightly larger than the required size - use your points and measure 1/4" from the point to the outside edge to square it.
If the block is slightly smaller than the required size - I generally leave it as it is and try to compensate by using a smaller seam allowance. In other words ... when I match my star block to the next block/sashing/border I will match it to the POINTS of the block, not the outside edge of the block.
If the block is smaller than 1/8" on ANY side ... I'll deconstruct it and re-sew.
Make sense??
