On your white diamonds it looks like you cut them in half to avoid doing a Y seam. When you did that you lost 1/2". So you either need to learn how to do a set in seam or you need to create half diamond templates which include your 1/4" seam allowance on all sides for your outside white diamonds.

Could you sew 3 sections together and then the other 3 sections together and then mate and sew one seam across to join? That should mate up the points.

This is a good video on how to do an eight point star - should be same concept as six point:

I looked and could not find a video for 6 point star.

when you get it apart, press your seams and take pics of the back, then when you sew it again if it isn't right, show us pics of the back, we'll getcha straightened out kid!

it looks like the star was small and the sa was too wide. measure and mark with a fine-line pencil, then cut three strips exactly 2". sew them long edges together. press and carefully measure across the strips. the final measurement should be exactly 5". if it's smaller, then your seam allowances are too wide and you need to make them narrower by sewing closer to the edge or adjusting your needle closer to the edge.

I finally got the link to work. Thank you, that was a wonderful tut.

Can we see what the back looks like. Maybe by seeing your seam allowances someone else with have an idea of what went wrong.
