Default need help with mini Lone Star

I am trying to make some 6" Lone Star blocks to go in a quilt border. I have never done a Lone Star block and doing one this small is way harder then I thought it would be. Can anyone give some pointers on how to make this easier?

As you can see, it's not perfect. The strips I'm working with are 7/8ths of an inch wide. Should I sew this by hand instead of the machine? The presser foot on the machine is making it very hard to keep a 1/4" seam because of the close seams.

Any advice will help.
