Got to the last 4 inches and didn't have enough for another row. When I rechecked everything, I found I had laid the ruler on the wrong line and made the first row too big. I'll never find that fabric again because it has been in my stash for years. Oh, well, live and learn.
Well, I feel your pain. After I posted this, I cut another strip wrong! It's like once you make a stupid mistake it throws off your concentration and you can't do anything right. I put all of it away. I'll "play" with it tomorrow when I'm fresh. (And given son a good tongue lashing!)
