OK, here's what I see.
The little round GREEN diamonds show where you matched up the pieces to form the 4-patch diamonds, and they look spot-on from here.
That's the most visible part so it's great that those are ok.
And those rows look they are sewn together in straight lines.

The thing is that there are supposed to be some straight seam lines going the opposite way as well when sewing one row to another.
The pink lines - those seams should have been all straight across all the rows, and they kind of throw the pattern off a bit.....you can see how if they were shifted, the PineBark would be more distinctive.
Also, while you didn't add the extra diamonds that were for the sides, you kept the diamonds that should have been chucked (RED below).
They're just going to be chopped off when you square, and get in the way of the construction....and since they're getting chopped, there will be a little unnecessary bulk at the seam allowance.
I did find some of my notes, but not my samples, so I have to recut the fabric and take some pictures.
If you don't mind waiting, give me a day or two to get something together for you.
