Default Nuts! I cut my "squares" wrong

OK...apparently I'm missing a major chromozone between my brain and my hands. I was sewing jelly roll strips together and had a lovely 4 row bar going. Stopped, measured, 8 1/2 inches, perfect! Somehow my brain thinks that if I line up my fabric up a 1 and measure over to 8 1/2 that I'll end up with a 8 1/2 inch square. Right? DUH!!! no ding-bat, you end up with a 7 1/2 by 8 1/2 inch square. (Darn that 1)....any suggestions on how to get out of this mess? I've cut the entire 2 rows, so have about 8 odd squares HELP!!!! (please)
