If not adjust the seam allowance on the white piece to make it fit right. On some of my white pieces I had to sometimes cut an 1/8" or so off the edge. I would have to check each trunk as I went. Hope this helps.
I also made quite a few last Christmas and I loved the pattern....I found that doing it like Connie H really helped....kind of do as you go.....
