Jane Quilter, I had to do this as well. And the diagram sits in front of me as I stitch them together. It has kept me from having to rip nearly every block and I'm down to only 1 or 2. Yes, lol, I stitch the wrong side sometimes.
I'm such a goof sometimes. lol.

So I made a pattern that has helped me maintain size and positional accuracy as well as increase the speed of block assembly. See Below:
Pattern:
The orange/pink shows where to place the dark/light HST pieces, the green squiggles show which way to press the seams so the pieces nest. I sew from top left to right bottom. When the 4 HST's block is assembled, I assemble to the 4.5" patch, then assemble the top half to the bottom half and press that seam open and I am done.
Here is the pattern with the fabric positioned to begin assembley:
Hope this helps you....It sure has helped me.
