A 1/4" foot can make a huge difference in accuracy. If the blocks came out too big, you may be able to sneak slightli wider seams in, depending on th pattern. Also, squaring the block up after each set of light side and dark side strips lets you assure they all come out pretty close.

I love the pinks you're using. You know, if the blocks aren't way out of conformity in size, sometimes you can ease them together and they'll work ok. If you put the bigger block on the bottom when you sew, they may work out ok. Something about the feed dogs feeding the fabric a little faster might ease some of the disparity in size. Good luck. It's going to be a fabulous quilt!
