It takes a little practice but I guarantee you will see that you have perfectly matching seams every time! Hope this helps.
I do exactly this, also, and I pin right through the seams with a fine pin to hold them together. I pin only at the seams, then line up the edges of the blocks in between the pins. Works for me!! I get very nice, tight, lined up corners nearly every time.
