"lfstamper" wanted to know how I lined up my rows, here are some pictures to try to explain what I do. Picture #1 is a pin in the seam. Picture #2 is a pin in the seam of the block to be sewn onto the next row, I do this to feel if the pins match up. Or you can look at the end of the block & see if the seams run in line with each other. I also pin the sashing & mark with chalk, you really don't have to mark it. Picture #3 I open the rows to make sure that they match up. Sometime you have to redo this. I do this with every seam. Once the entire row is pinned, I opend the entire strip, I stand up & look closely to see if everything is in line. I pin my rows to the carpet so they can't move. The pictures are of my practice blocks. They didn't make the cut because I clipped the wings on them. I hope this help & again if anyone has a better way I am always making notes to help in the future.
