Just for my information...What size should the blocks have been before sewing together as per the instructions, and what size did you make them? Could you give us the website where you bought the templates?
After looking at your blocks and what they are supposed to look like, I think you might be adding another 1/4 seam to the templates, when it was already added. Your points are too big and trimming isn't really the answer. What I would do is sew a seam down the long middle of the blocks you have together and then trim, making sure your points are right. Then sew through the middle of the print going across on each of the blocks and take that extra out. Then it should look just like the picture. If you are unsure, then use a long basting stitch that you could easily rip out and just try it.
You will probably have to cut about 1/4" off each side too.
OOPS Just saw that you stated the size before sewing.
I do hope you are talking about the orange & white quilt. That's the one I am trying to get yours to look like.
