I starched my pieces and then retrimmed to the correct size and my blocks look much better.
now only 15 more to go! Phew...and it takes about 1/2 hour per block. So far this is the hardest quilt I've made.
Just be aware that water bugs (not sure this is the right name tiny little pointy tailed bugs you see in bathrooms sometimes.) go after starched fabric, and so will moths go after sizing, so when your quilt is done do wash it gently to get the stuff out before you put it away.
