Default First Quilt - Help Please!

Hi Everyone!

Okay, so this is the very first quilt that I am making. In hindsight I picked a really challenging pattern (this is what it looks like: http://hoffmanfabrics.com/wp-content...ern-NEW-LR.pdf). So I finally pieced this together and the entire quilt top was finished. Unfortunately, I probably made some newbie mistakes somewhere along the line and a lot of the rows, squares and lines do not match up very well. Some of them are off by more than a quarter inch... I got really frustrated and put it away for almost a year. Well, the fabric was expensive and I would really like to finish it.

Can anyone provide some insight as to why this happened? I think I might have rushed too much through the cutting process. How can I fix it? I am going through and taking apart the blocks now. Should I take it all apart, iron each piece, measure each one and then sew it back together again?

Thanks in advance everyone

Danielle.
