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!

I've always pressed my seam allowances open, so I haven't had this problem,since I could match up the corners. Can you go back and press those seams open? (before you try to sew them into strips).
