Terri, it looks like some of your units might be a bit too big. Try taking a little bit more than a scant 1/4" in your seams. Too small a seam can also make your points come out too close to an edge, where they will be lost in the next seam.

All in all, your blocks look great, but it sounds like you are a perfectionist like me!
