You need to trim all the blocks to the same exact size.
Make sure to get the space around the lines of print even.

If you have one, use a large square ruler. Put tape on it to mark the size you want.
Mark the edges with pencil lines before you cut.
If the blocks are all different sizes, - even a sliver of fabric wider, they will not line up.
