I've got my fabric cut and ready to label and send. I have almost a full bolt, but it wasn't wide enough after cutting off the selvages so I cut WOF 11" and then cut that in half so I have about 11x19 chunks. I've run into so much fabric now that you don't get a full 40" of usable WOF. And too many older patterns that expect you'll have 42" usable fabric.

One recent quilt along, one of the directions called for cutting 10 strips at 2.5" wide, and a later step called for subcutting them at 10.5". This assumed you'd get 4 cut per WOF, and I could only get three. So I needed to either cut 3 more WOF and have 13 9" strips left, or piece the short strips.
