The reasoning behind squaring up is that it makes it so much easier to match seam lines if everything is square and the same size. If you've got a bunch of wonky blocks they don't go together very well and it just leads to frustration, at least for me. No one us perfect, but it is possible to see a nearly perfect block, or so I've been told, lol.
