I NOTICED this too. I haven't done anything with this size yet and thought I would give it a try. The first one I cut I measured was a tad over a yard-an Alexander Henry fabric and I could not get enough squares out of it so then I had to go find ones that had closer to 1 1/4 yards on it. Then I was able to get enough. Was kind of sad though cause the first one was cute with Apple's and pears. OH well- found enough others to get enough-even cut them a little over since I am so New at this. Ready to send mine out anyway yay!!
