Red face Why I gave up on precuts

This is so frustrating. I have a Moda honey bun that I'm using to make a couple of doll quilts. I sewed 5 strips together which should have been 5.5" total width and it's 6". Turns out that the strips are over 1.5" wide by just over 1/8". So I had to redo my seam allowance and resew them. Luckily I didn't get far before I checked but geez. I don't think I've had a correctly cut precut so far (layer cakes, charm packs, jelly rolls and now honey buns).

I'm glad I quit buying them a long time ago. I'm just trying to get them used up now.
