Well guess I have the start of another quilt!
I did the same thing on two of my string blocks. All of my mistakes are going to be used to make a coordinating pillow. Then I am going to use ALL of the extra strips left over to make a string quilt using ALL of the used dryer sheets as foundations I have been saving.
