True for this newbie! I started out buying nearly twice what the pattern needed, and I used some of it - I had a lot of trouble measuring and cutting. So I now have a lot of 1 1/2" strips which should have been 2 1/2" and 6" squares which should have been 6 1/2" and I need to make another quilt to use them - and the rest of the unused material - up. Could be worse problems :lol: :lol: :lol:
