Have a snit and fume for a few minutes, then figure out how to salvage what you have. I have been there more times than I care to admit. I have a stash of really old fabrics, and trying to match something is nigh impossible, so I substitute, and go for the scrappy look!

I have been in the same boat a few times! I have gone so far as to make the field smaller , add a larger border, or use the 'extra' blocks in a second border, near ( or in ) the corners, you know,.. just to make it a little more interesting, especially if it's a scrap quilt.So, don't be too hard on yourself.

Wait until you are in a hurry and you cut the last piece for the last block with the last bit of THAT fabric on the planet and you also cut through two of the blocks that are already done. See what you say then. I could tell you but that kind of language is frowned upon. hehe.
