For examples:
If the blocks are from 12.25 to 12.75 inches - I would cut sashing strips 12.50 inches and ease in the sashing to the short blocks and ease in the bigger blocks to the sashing.
I prefer to work with less variance - but on a 12 inch finished size - 1/4 inch is more or less manageable - unless working with batiks. Batiks are less cooperative.
If the variance is over 1/2 inch from the "expected" size - then you might consider framing the blocks to make them all the same size - and then put sashing between the frames.
Or you could trim them to all the same size - or redo the smallest block to try to make it bigger.
First time I did a block exchange - it did not occur to me to measure them all before trying to put them together!
