Smile How to enlarge a block

Hi all, I am wondering how to increase the size of a block just enough to be slightly larger than the required size. It seems sometimes when I make my blocks they come out just a hair under even when I take a lot of time carefully cutting, my rotary cuts. This makes it hard for me to square up porperly. I thought I heard Eleanor Burns slightly enlarges her blocks so she could square up more accurately. Should I just make the outside pieces an eight of an inch bigger? I believe I tried that and got my pieces all messed up. It seems that it would be easy to oversize slightly but I can't figure it out. Anyone Have any input on this on how to do this.
