Exclamation Roundabout Problem

So, here is what's going on. When I made the blocks for the Roundabout, I was having issues with my quarter inch not being accurate. The blocks were supposed to measure 9.5in - I had some blocks that measured 9.25, so I trimmed the larger blocks down to match so they would fit. I realize now I should have adjusted the smaller blocks up.

I am now dealing with cutting off my points on the sides any time I put them together. Another problem I'm having is that no matter what I try to do to nest the corner seams up, they're just not coming out right.

I know I've lost the design, but should I trim them down again to 9 inches? I'm really lost at this point and I've somewhat committed myself to do another one, so what I'm learning on this quilt, I know I'll be able to apply it to the other and it'll be much better. I'm kicking myself for making this mistake on this quilt, but every one is a learning experience.

Any thoughts??
