This is a method i often use when i find antique or stacks of unfinished blocks... you can make everything the same size without sacrificing any of the first round of work whether it's yours or someone elses'...good luck
This is a good idea. In the alternative, put the wonky ones aside, re-do your pattern to include simple squares and the star blocks that are good. Take the wonky ones and make the really wonky with framing and you'll end up with two quilts. Pictures would be great. We could really see what you're talking about.
