Default Help with sashing please!

Hello Quilting Board Members,
My name is Kim and I am a new board member. I am currently making my 3rd quilt, but the first one with sashing and borders. I do not have a pattern for the quilt I am making as I saw it on Pinterest and made up my own blocks composed of squares and rectangles with sashing between the pieces to compose the blocks. Then I sewed 7 across with sashing between them. I have made 8 rows of these block and sashing rows. Then I happened to read that sashing should be cut with the grain of the material instead of across the grain. My question is, since everything seems to be accurately sized, do I take out 96 seams or cut the horizontal sashing with the grain and hope for the best with the vertical sashing being across the grain and the horizontal sashing being with the grain? Next time, more research first before proceeding. I get it.
Thanks for your anticipated help!
Kim
