There is a right side but sometimes it's very hard to tell. If you look at an area where the dye is a bit blurry, the right side will be more crisp and the wrong side more blurry. The selvage will be smoother on the right side as well. I usually put a chalk mark on the wrong side or make sure to keep them stacked in the same direction all the time. If your triangles are the same angles on each corner it won't matter if you end up flipping some pieces over. If you've studied them and can't tell the difference between one side and the other, no one else will either.
