Don't be so hard on yourself. This is how we all learn. This is why all of us have rippers. If you google "matching seams and points in quilting", go to Sentimental Stitches and they have a great tutorial for matching.

Doesn't look so bad to me. There's someone on the board with a signature line that says: Done is better than perfect. I'm no swifty at this quilting business and I have to remind myself of that saying often!
Did you use the strip tube technique and then frame it? Really looks like a quite handsome block.

My husband once told me while I was criticizing my own work that perfection is in the imperfection ...
