Oops? Maybe use the ones with the wrong measurements to make something else. It's frustrating, but take a deep breath, keep calm... everything happens for a reason. Maybe this particular batch of fabric was meant to make a different quilt that you would never have thought of because you wouldn't have needed to- if that makes sense?
