I purchased some 1/2 yard cuts to make HSTs with some fabric I already had cut into squares. I ironed the cuts, then cut them into 4.5 inch squares. Found out the original ones were cut at 5 inch. I cut the large ones down and found out I cut some at 4.25 instead of 4.5. I cut some correctly, then went to mark them for sewing. However, that did not go right either. So I took a nap One of those days - we all have them I guess.
