So, I reset my machine to a different setting and measured each section I sewed to make sure it was a perfect quarter inch. And, finally, my blocks are coming out the right size. I found that my machine setting was off. So, this is my demo block and even though it doesn't look like it's perfect, I measured each point to make sure there was a quarter inch for piecing it together. I guess I should have done my homework sooner.



So, I think I will keep my tape measure by my machine for another block or two just to make sure I have it right.

I'm really not a stickler on points being perfect, honestly, I can live with "off a little" just fine. But, I don't want any of you to have to bare with it.
