I agree that there is always fabric to spare to cut off the fraying. I have learned to never get just a 1/4 yard of anything because a lot of times, you will loose an inch or two and no longer have the 1/4 yard required by the pattern.
Absolutely, I never buy 1/4 yd, it seems it always want a little exta for shams, 1 ysd is my absolute least minimum! :D
