Struggling with scrappy quilt alignment

I'm currently making a patchwork quilt with leftover fabric from some old shirts and dresses. I've noticed that a few of my squares aren't lining up quite right when I try to put them together. Do you have any tips on how to fix the alignment without messing up the pattern?

You can try nesting your seams by pressing them in opposite directions before stitching. It helps the corners lock together so your squares stay lined up. :)
