Default New to Quilting

Hello, I'm new to quilting and have a question as I begin my first quilt. I've decided to start my particular quilt with fat quarters. I've noticed that the print is crooked on one of the fq. I've tried to gently stretch the fabric diagonally from both sides and the print is still crooked. Is there anything that I can do to make it straight? I don't want to wash or soak it, as I really don't want to pre-wash all of the fat quarters. I only need to cut (2) 9.5" blocks from each fat quarter. Should I just make sure that the print is cut straight when I cut the blocks? Or will this cause a problem once I put the quilt together.

I'm excited to start this journey and look forward to learning all about quilting.

Thank you!
