I have heard of people actually taking a block apart and reconstructimg it. Don't know where you will find an extra inch of fabric, thoigh.
I rarely ease a block to a block and if I had to I would probably not go more than 1/4 inch. I did a guild quilt and requested about 8 10 blocks more than I needed. Those blocks that were way off, I just pulled partially apart and redid them or "increased an internal seam or two. With Blocks that were too small - I found that the 1/4 inch seam was somewhat closer to 3/8 and when I was desperate would rework them completely.
Good luck - Oh ... one last option is "frame" each block with background material and square them all evenly - this way you do not loose points and do not have the rework anything!!
