Good job, Joe! As for it being a bit off size - check to make sure your fabric is cut right - just one skinny width of the ruler line would be enough to make it smaller than planned. Also, double check your 1/4" seam allowance - just a smidge over 1/4" can make you run short - and put both those together (cutting & sewing) can make a difference too!
But it really does look great - and frame it - as previously mentioned - and hang it by your sewing machine - for inspiration when frustration tries to get the better of you!!

good job, I'm sure you will hear about a scant 1/4 inch seam. that's just a few thread less than the 1/4 inch seam. cutting is important. be precise and you are off to a good start. good luck learning what your machine will do.
