Love your block...keep going...and post some more pics :D

Suzy, instead of measuring, measuring, measuring...paying all the attention to your 1/4" seam allowances...mark off (lightly), the part of the strip, you want to show....measure, measure, measure that, (the center), and make sure IT'S accurate, match up your lightly marked lines on two strips, by stab sticking with your pins, for accuracy, and it won't go wrong. Does that help? It sure has helped me, tremendously.
I was focused on the seams...it's all about, what is going to show. :D
