Actually, my plan for the quilt is to use sashing. Normally I would sash by putting the horizontal sashing between the blocks in a row, when that is done I'd put the rows together by adding the vertical sashing. So if I'm going to sash with squaring up as my goal would I sash all four sides of a block, as in a log cabin/square in square sort of way? That sounds like a great solution! I think the sashing will be a bit uneven on the blocks since it'll be trimmed here and there to make them square, but that should be less noticeable than the block design being uneven, right?
Thanks for the ideas! I'll try to be more careful in my seam allowances. I always think that pressing must play a role as well. I watch Jenny Doan and she's never very careful in her pressing...
