Don't know if you saw the pictures I put up for you, but here's my post:

Okay for some reason I couldn't get the photo rotated the right way in here, but if you start here you'll see what I mean about lining things up (just click on the next pics in my stream, there are 4).

The first photo you can see the ear of the bottom triangle up to the left. If you line the top triangle to the edge of the triangle, you won't ling up when sewn.

The second picture shows how I am opening the seam up on the back so I can see the whole edge of the triangle, then I line up the top triangle with this. I hope this makes sense!

If it's just a matter of lining things up then you should be good with a little ripit, but if you cut the strips the wrong size, then you may have a problem :(
