Yes, that’s right. “How do I make something wonderful out of an oops?” If I put everything I have on the design board, I can make a switch to something new if I can let go or my original idea. Otherwise, it’s time to put a call out for scraps. Had to do it with Bootsy’s pink block a couple of rounds back. That was a simple error in calculating how much I needed to begin with. Giant oops.
Am am wondering what everyone’s biggest oops was if you care to share. I will tell you mine was not a cutting goof but the disappearance of an f8. Gone. Poof. Now you see it, now you don’t. The owner was quite gracious and with a couple of boomers’ help, I was able to make a block. It’s been years and that f8 has not reappeared yet. I still wonder where it went.

As for cutting errors I had mine last year, the second time I was involved in a Boom swap. Your heart sinks when you realize your mistake, then comes lots of choice words. The real challenge is being to create something out of that mistake and the self satisfaction of completing that "oops" block.
