Just a thought, did the pattern have other larger sizes that may account for the leftovers?
I don't mind some waste either.... but the pattern could have been enlarge to make a little larger quilt OR perhaps it shouldn't have said to sew all of those strip sets together-- cause some of the sets could have been repeated in the quilt and there would have been lots of extra strips (instead of sewn sets).
