You could simply trim the edges and bind as is. The design will remain off, but it's really not terribly noticeable since there is low contrast between the fabrics.
Did you pin before sewing the sections together? You have to match seams when you sew. Either some of the pieces stretched or you were not consistent on your cutting accuracy and/or keeping a 1/4" seam throughout.

It looks like some of the strips and blocks are cut a little on the wonky side. When they are not all cut the exact same it will cause your edges to be off. If it bothers you then redo it. If not then even the edge out and finish it.

however, it does look as though part of your problem might be that the seams do not lay flat, they have tucks or puckers in them. The seams where you joined the blocks together.
