    Mine are wonky too, I think I measured my squares wrong and that made the whole thing off.

    I am not sure that you did sew your squares sizes wrong. Try this : Firstly did you use a 1/4" inch foot and make ALL your seams the same size? Secondly before you stitch the rows together, i use a PIN and i pin the two joining strips together and put the pin where my 1/4" seam allowance stitching line will be. I then turn the material over and see if the triangles match point to point. If NOT, then i move one of the fabrics up a little or down a little till the points meet, then i re pin and then stitch. This is how i work for mine. Hoping this does help. Maybe someone can assist further. Good luck. Love your material.

    I did all of the above ... minus the pinning and removing ...

    Apparently I did not take into account that when you are using triangles and sewing on the diagonal your square has to be a little bit larger or when you sew it next to a square it will not be the size it needs to be ...

    I am going to make another one tonight and see if I can get it :)

    Thanks!!
