This is just from my experience. Make sure when sewing your pieces together when you get to the end you are not curving off a little at the end. I have taught my granddaughters to piece, and it is so easy to just sew less of a quarter inch at the very end. Also you could cut the outside pieces just a little bigger on that outside piece, so you have more light color outside your points, and then trim them to size.

Read what Holice wrote. I would cut the trianlges bigger and trim to get the 1/4", like amandasgramma said. Both of these suggestions should get you where you want to be.
Blocks are beautiful and the colors too.
