Didn't realize it till it came time to add those two pieces to the block. Anyone done this? How would you handle it? I thought about adding a half inch piece to each end. Feeling so frustrated with myself!
Yes, go ahead and seam on the extra pieces. In the grand scheme of things (after quilting) it probably won't even be noticed. I've done this several times.

edited to add: Oh yeah... hadn't even thought about asking others for leftover fabric!
