Default Grain of fabric

I am about to use up several 5" charm packs to form a border for a quilt. (I love the scrappy happy look!) I will cut them in half after seaming 2 squares together down the center. Since they will be narrow I want to make sure the grainline will be lengthwise. Is there a way to determine the grain before I stitch and cut? The print on some is directional, so no problem with those.

This is the first time for me to use precut fabrics as I have a disability now, and cannot stand up to do cutting anymore.
Thanks for your input.
