Default Marking quilt

I am trying to mark a quilt for hand quilting. It is an appliquéd quilt. I will quilt around the appliqué, so they don’t need to be marked. However I am crosshatching the entire quilt. I have marked an X from corner to corner and with a clear wide ruler with 1” lines am marking from there. No matter how I try, I can’t get everything to come out correctly with all squares exactly 1”. I think give in the fabric and maybe some slight variation in the blocks are the problem. How can this be handled? I have already spent many hours and have a long way to go. Thanks.
