Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
I glue baste my quilt sandwiches. When I put the top on the already-glued-together backing and batting, I carefully line up the centers down the length of the quilt to keep it straight. I've done several this way, and each time, it seems a little straighter--practice, practice, practice.
