Before you spend a lot of time "sliver slicing" your blocks, take a look at Sharon Schamber's site (www.youtube.com/user/SharonSchambernet).
She has a number of videos on different aspects of quiltmaking, including how to shrink a block, how to stretch a block, as well as hand quilting, binding, etc.
You might find this helpful.

I saw a wonderful ruler yesterday at the quilt fair in Sydney. A company called Aussie Patches has a Wonder Cut ruler that allows you to cut HST's from a tube made with 2 fabric strips sewn together. See the link:

Do I now have to go thru and "square" each one again, I still have the dog ears on, before I start sewing them into strips so that they will be even and "hopefully" the seams will all line up?
