Uh-oh!!! Help!

Help! I purchased an Antique Rose kit from Keepsake Quilting. Service was great but.... The pattern called for 10 1/2 inch squares framed by 4-fabric strips crosscut into 2 1/2 inch units.After careful sewing and cutting the strips are 1 inch too short! What can I do? These are the side strips and if I cut the top and bottom strips 2 1/2 in, they will be waayy short. Does any of this make sense? The pattern is by Sweet Treasures.

So, do you have two pieces for the sides that are 10 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches? And then you would need two pieces that are that are 15 inches by 2 1/2 inches for the top and bottom?
Are you saying that the longer ones are only 14 inches? or are both sets too short?
I'm just trying to understand so I might be able to help figure out what to do.

I think that is so stupid that you buy a kit to make and there is no 'extra' fabric. Geez for the price they charge you would think that they could afford a few inches extra. Oh well, I have never had a quilt kit but one day I sure want to get one. :) I wish you luck, I too would see if they have extra fabric at the store.

If you are supposed to use the 10 1/2 inch block, then the directions are incorrect. And your strips should be 10 1/2 and 14 1/2 inches. If this is the case, I would contact the store for replacement fabric.
