Marlenab, the others are right. Lots of us have miscut fabric. It happens so no worries. You can piece together what you need from what remains if you think it still looks nice (some fabrics it wouldn't even be noticeable) or just ask here and tell us how much you need. FYI to everyone, if this happens to you, please feel free to email me and I'll source it for you. Some people prefer not to share they've made a goof and some don't mind. I assure you, this happens in virtually every swap, but you all just don't always know it!

I managed to get two more blocks done yesterday. Would have had three done except I goofed up and cut two pieces 1/2 inch too short. Now what? Can't cut new pieces because there is not enough fabric. I drew each piece out on graph paper and figured I would have just enough fabric. Then I go and cut the last two pieces a tad short. Not even sure how I managed that. 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!
