I would NEVER tell anyone that they can't do something. lol
If you are working on the same block and they are off, then your problem is either with the preparation in cutting, with the seam allowance being inconsistent, with the pressing, or a combination of all of the above. One of the well-known teachers suggests that you measure every piece of your construction when you first start to determine where you might go off the plan.
Sometimes, it is possible to cut the block down (when there are no matching points) and sometimes it is possible to starch, press and pull the block into submission. In general, it is the practice that will get you there. Don't fret. I think we've all been there.
