Oh no! That is so not fair! Stamping foot! Can't you subcut your 24" sections to 12" ones which gives you your 6 and 2 spare then use the other bolt separately in the border? I'm so sorry what a piggy thing to happen! And it DOES illustrate the point that when the TRUE OBW queen (Maxine Rosenthal! :mrgreen: ) says 'don't use fabric from more than one bolt' she does know what she's talking about! I want to now say quite a rude word on your behalf so I'll go and do that off screen... :evil:
