Default How accurately do you trim up blocks?

If you have assembled blocks and they are square, how much do you trim them? Does it depend on the size of the block?
I recently made a set of 13" blocks and only trimmed those that were off by 1/8" or more. It saved a lot of time to not trim the ones that were only off a few threads but I don't know if it will lead to too much inaccuracy in the finished top, which is not assembled yet. My previous top had 3.5" blocks and those I trimmed every block and the top came out square/even.
