I must have missed one of my notifications for this swap, so I haven't seen any postings for awhile. I could have saved some time by not scrapping so many that were 1/8th or less off, but not a full 3 1/2". I took lots of them apart and tried to use the patterned fabric, since it was the white fabric that was off. Had some success, but wasted a lot of time trying to get it right before giving up and cutting different fabric! Found that it was the lighter weight white fabric that did not hold it's shape. Used a heavier/higher count fabric and there was hardly any trimming to be done.
