Default Centre square

Hi there. I'm in the process of making a log cabin star with scraps cut into 2in strips. What dimensions would you begin a block with? I think I started mine off wrong as I attached a 1"x2" to a 2x2". I think I lost direction in the first block but 2nd onwards it clicked with me how to move around in a clockwise direction to complete the block. My cutting and 1/4 seams are meticulously done so I'm thinking that the reason the length and breadth of the blocks aren't exact is something to do with those first two pieces of fabric? Since I've done 5 blocks so far I will keep going but I'd appreciate any tips for starting these off for future reference. Hope this makes sense? Thank you
