Maniac 2, that is a great way to deal with uneven block sizes!

Oneta

When I did a quilting class we were told to put 1 1/2 inch "coping strips" around each block, and then cut them all the same size. You'll never know that the strips vary in width. Then finish any way you wish to make the size you want.

If you only have a few blocks done, then spend the time to figure out what is going on to get them so uneven. If you have finished all of them, then do what Oneta suggests. Add a 1 1/2" coping strip and then square up the blocks making sure the blocks are centered. Then you could add a sashing if you want and your blocks with the coping strips would all line up.

The first civil war quilt I did, they were 6 in squares and of couse had tons of little pieces in them. None of them were coming out the right size. I took them into my teacher and she checked my cutting and my seams and they were all accurate. Then she make a suggestion, to switch to Aurifil thread, it only has two strands verses 3 most of them have. I was skeptical how this could help but you'd be amazed how much this one extra strand and several seams going across a block can change the outcome. I was sold plus I love the thread. I also now always do a scant 1/4 in just to be safe. By the way, scant means about one needle width over from the 1/4 in mark.
