Let's check your sizes.
Your half square triangles need to be the same sized as the height of the top of the spool and the width of the white background sides.
Your brown center top of the spool and your red center each need to be the same width (if you are using three patches across the top)
What are the ends of the spools? Do you have two half square triangles or one piece of brown fabric with squares sewn on the diagonal and trimmed at each end?
If you could tell us how the top of the spool is constructed (one piece with two diagonals, or one rectangle and two half square triangles) and the size of the strips you are cutting, and then tell us the size of the background and center pieces. Maybe then we can help you figure out what is not working correctly for you.
