The most important part is making sure they're exactly the same size. Are you using a rotary cutter or doing it with scissors? Getting them just right is almost impossible with the scissors. Then when you pin them together, you make sure all the seams match up and pin them right on the seams.

I'm generally pretty good with square corners but still have to work on getting points right (like with half square triangles, pinwheel designs, stars, etc.) and that's a matter of measuring those 1/4" seam allowances just precisely.
