Default Silly question, but I need HELP

I know this is a silly question and it sound like I'm trying to get out of a lotta work, which I am, But I am making a king size quilt called the double diamond pattern, The main blocks are to be 8 1/2" square. well I either did not cut correctly or did not have true 1/4" seams , so my blocks are not 8 1/2" square. when I go to square them up If I trim off 1/4" from the top of the block as well as the left of the block on all 98 of them do you think it will line up correctly? It also has what they refer to as corner blocks which is a total of 28 blocks, If I take off a total of 1/4" off the same sides of those do you think they will match up OK? In other words in my mind what do I have to loose at this point, a lotta fabric and $$'s that are not the correct size and since each block has 7 strips of fabric I can not make the blocks larger so I can only go smaller. Hope this makes sense and thanks for you help in advance.Dorothy
