Default patching scraps together

How far will you go to get a big enough piece to be able to finish a quilt? I needed 5" patches and this strip was only 4.5" so I cut a piece off the other end and matched it as best as I could. My daughter said she would not have guessed had I not told her. It's not perfect, except for the galloping horse look. Does anyone else have pictures to share of their 'emergency' patch jobs?
