Do you follow me? If not, I'll do a couple and take pictures and show you. Also your seams should start on one side and end on the other.
a picture says a thousand words. So, I put these together to explain what I was trying to say.
Don't mind my toes, but see how the pieces fit together. Then you just keep going making rows according to how big you want it.

Place right sides together and begin a running stitch from the edge.

See how nicely the pieces work around.

Begin first row with one across, the second row begins with one down
