The images won't open for me, but I just did two blocks of that pattern. The problem is that those long sides are on the bias. If you try it again, starch the fabrics and press very carefully after any stitching or cutting - do not slide the iron. I'm betting your quilt looks good. The motion in that pattern will hide any imperfections. I haven't made many quilts, either, so all these things are new to me, too.
