Default printed panels

Hi, I bought a couple of printed panels to make some quick wall hangings. Thought I would just have to cut and sew one or two borders and hangers and be done. Now it turns out that the panels are all printed crookedly, they are not square. However, if I want to trim it so it is square, I am cutting away from the printed stripes around the actual motif in an uneven way, meaning the printed borders/stripes that are part of the motif would get thinner or wider from top to bottom or left to right. I would end up having a square wall hanging, but the printed part within the borders that I sew on would be off. Do you understand what I mean? Would you try to wet block the panel to get it square? Other people must have run into this problem before me, or did I just happen to get the rare unsquare printed panel? Thanks!
