Default Need some help with an EQ7 design

I designed this on EQ7. It's called Stepping Stars. The four big blocks shown are not sewed together--just on my design wall. I've worked hard at getting it together the easiest way. I love it, but there are some frustrations I wondered if someone could help me with. The biggest issue is accuracy--no seams need to line up until all four blocks are sewed together, but one side of a block will be longer, and I just feel it should come out closer. The blocks should be square. One 1" piece by the red square will always come out crooked--I had to rip half of them and make the seam less than 1/4" for it to be even. I've double/tripled checked my accuracy in cutting pieces and I'm using the 1/4" foot--which I never use and have never had a problem with 1/4" accuracy in all the patterns I've made. I checked EQ7 for the directions closest to 1/8" and 1/16" and they are the same--so it's not that. Ideas anyone?
