My first response when I read your post -
A 1.5 inch square was cut SHORT? You have got to be - - - kidding!
In the swaps I've participated in - I've tried to send everything as close to the guidelines as possible - sometimes I wondered if my swappers were reading a different list!!
I think I would just go with it and expect some of the squares to not be up to your standards and set them aside. Maybe have a template to check them against, just to make working with them easier.
Maybe you could do something with 1.25 squares if there end up being enough of them.
Snarkiness aside, different rulers - and how people measure with them - could account for some variations of the square sizes.
I prefer to do my own cutting - if there's a goof - it's my goof-up - I know how I measure - and that may or may not be how you measure - the difference may be very small - or it may be not so small.
Depends on how severe your OCD is.
