From the "Queen of Ripped Seams," nothing matches, points are off, corners don't meet.

Read carefully - some are/some aren't. If you're trying to hone your skills, maybe try some that don't emphasize the 'scant' seam allowance. Or, cut your fabric about 1/16 - 1/8 larger than what is called for in the pattern and use a 'full' 1/4 in. seam until you are more comfortable with it. I always do this with pinwheel blocks for example. The squares are always cut at x 7/8". I cut at the full inch measurement, sew and then measure from the center of the unit and trim accordingly. Works for me. In fact I recently finished a quilt for my niece that was a bazillion pinwheel blocks and had no problem with points matching using this method.
