Default Cutting HST Question

I have a 4 patch that is 4 1/2" exactly. I layer it with a black fabric that is also 4 1/2" exactly.
I draw a line down the centre, corner to corner and then sew a scant 1/4" either side. I cut down the line in the centre to make two HST's, but they never turn out square. One side is always slightly larger than the other.
This should work, right?
What am I doing wrong?
Can I just trim that? It's like that on all of them so far.
Picture added to show where it overhangs more than the bottom.
