Sort the pieces that you will pair and turn into half-square triangles, then line the back of the lighter fabric diagonally from corner to corner, and stitch on either side of the line with ¼ inch seam allowance. Cut them apart along the line, then press the seams nicely, and stitch the rest of the pieces.
