This is a opportunity to soar!! 1. Put borders around them, 2. Put them on point, 3. Cut down the middle and cross-way then rearrange. Three different ways to get a totally different quilt you made. Do you have a square ruler? Center the ruler on your squares, figure out where the 8 /1/2" square is and then cut. After looking at the pattern I think you can save the quilt by just cutting a smaller square, go down to a 8 or 7 1/2" square, remember to center the ruler on the block.
