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!!
Here is a link to instructions for making half square triangle blocks.

I personally use the method on page 5 of these instructions, making the blocks a touch bigger than the pattern calls for and trimming them down. For this Friendship star pattern, I cut the beginning square 5" instead of 4-7/8". Then follow the rest of the instructions. Your points should come out perfect.
I love the fabric you used and look forward to seeing your next star.
