That very often will straighten things out. I have done the same thing with squares like yours to get them back to 'square'.
actually, the greige goods (base fabric) is stretched tight on rails during the screen printing process. It seems wonky on the selvedge sides but without the tight stretch...the overall images(s) would All not match up. This is not a defect...just a minor inconvenience for the good of the majority of the print. Each colored dot also on the selvedge strip represents how each time a color was printed to create the beautiful end result.
8 dots=8 colors. 14 dots =14 colors. Etc.

love the OPs’ layout and fabric!
