Also if any of you have suggestions on how to make this look good, I would appreciate it.
If you hand baste the layers together well, then it doesn't matter where you start.

Look on Youtube for Sharon Schamber's basting video. The only change I make is that I baste much more closely than she does, my herringbone stitches are only about an inch apart rather than the 3 inches she uses.

Once I'm done hand basting a quilt sandwich, it would take some sort of major disaster to make it shift (like maybe being dumped into the washing machine with a load of tennis shoes!).
