Default Do Not buy Benartex Bali Darks Layer cakes if you want 10 x 10 inches !!

I found these Benartex Bali Darks online and ordered them from a reputable company (no, I am not telling you the name because it's not their fault). I ordered one package of layer cakes intending to make a quilt for my grandson. Long Story Short: I called the company I ordered them from and they pulled off two packages and measured them and agreed with me that they are not 10" square. So I called Benartex in NYC. They will call the factory to check it out but I am putting a warning out right now that these layer cakes are not 10 inches square, maybe 9 3/4 inches, but definitely not 10 inches. Today's job for me: cutting about 100 charm squares down 1/8 inches or more to match the Benartex layer cakes that will also be cut into charms. (Are they still charms if they aren't 5" ?) I think I will have to buy more batik now because of the short layer cakes. Isn't quilting fun ?
