I almost always put my quilts together this way. One of the tricks I use after I get them laid out how I want them is to pin a row and block marker to them. I use little squares of paper that have R1B1, R1B2, etc, etc and I pin them right side up at the top of the block or square. Pinning them right side up and at the top tells you which way is up if they're directional and helps you keep them in order too. Plus after you have the markers pinned to them if you have to you can pick the whole thing up and not lose where each square goes.
