I set mine in 3 inch strips all around the blocks and then place my large square over the block at a wonky angle and cut the square. I then have slightly twisted blocks and you can't really see the different sizes. Someone on QB went a step further and made the wonky strips make a cool secondary design but I can't remember who. Good luck.
