I buy lots of 1 yd pieces as I love scrappy quilts and I'm always buying "shorts". One day I decided to check my fabric and lo and behold it was all a great deal off - up to 5" off. I wrote and asked if there was a problem, got the fabric out again - red face - I had trimmed off 1 1/2", 2", and 2 1/2" strips for my scraps. I was doing this with my other fabric when this came in so I just cut it too and completely forgot. I was so embarrassed! I do find my online stores are good about cutting. If I get a wonky piece it has extra added to it.
