Your target, likely, is to make all the blocks the same size - by adding strips to the smaller blocks. You could do the strips just boxing in the t-shirt, or log-cabin style, or attic-window style.

Hope this helps!

I like that -- coping strips.

I do a lot of work with photographs on fabric and I measured the smallest and largest block and sewed strips around all the blocks and trimmed so the largest block had a 1" border and the smaller ones were wider. I used all the same color and added some sashing and setting squares between that was a different color. I worked well.
