I think we've all done something like that at one time or another - like the time I cut strips for a Sister's Choice, only to find out that I had cut them 1" too small. Guess I was not paying attention, however, when I cut the strips correctly, I ran out of that white fabric, so picked out another one - a planned "artistic choice". LOL. I would continue on, your granddaughter will love it because you made it for her.
