I don't understand why you need to abandon them because of a mistake. If all of them are cut the same way, you could keep going with the pattern, and you have just created a new design. It's a waste of time and fabric if you just throw them aside and say oh, well. Not perfect. Time to move on. I don't believe that to be true. I think the point is if they are all the same and cut all the same, in my mind they are totally salvageable.
