Sharyan Craid has a couple of wonderful books out on using swap blocks, etc. save this quilt by doing the outside strips in some manner. your eye really does not see the little difference. cutting down so often ruins points, etc. then--practice all the great tips you are being given here. keep it up, you will love it ! most of us probably did not save some of our early, wonky blocks, but it would be interesting to have a show of "buggers".
