I do it a bit differently, but here's a video about straightening the fabric - you can see the "off-alignment" of the cut I was talking about upthread.

Lovely fabric!
Just square all those puppies up to the same exact size, and then sewing them together will be a breeze.
And NO ONE is going to notice the little discrepancies because of the prior wonky-ness.
Come back and show it off when you're done.
