I think you've done an excellent job for the first time doing them. I like that all your points are well placed and none of them are cut off. I do wonder if you have enough room between the points and the edge for a 1/4" seam. Leaving a bit more above the point when you cut the square out will help there. There are crossed lines at the top of the template when it is on point. It is where the 1/4" lines cross. I put that above the point when I place my template. Don't look at the bottom point LOL it isn't centered at all.
