Tokyo Subway Quilt: My Suburb

All the pieces have been cut, and I laid out the first blocks. Then I decided to stay up a bit late last night and put together the first block. It went very well, especially when I used a technique I read about recently that said to NOT iron the rows before sewing rows together, but just to align the seams. Out of a 5x5 grid, I only went back and tweaked one seam, yet I am quite pleased with the results.
On the pattern, I've laid out numbers for each block. A1 is the block I finished last night.

Here is my finished block and B1, C1 and D1 laid out. I'm struggling a little with the orange colors, but I decided that it's a scrap quilt, so they can stay whatever they currently are.
