I have cut all of my strips for the blue part of this block...I had to use all darks, because my light blues did not contrast with the aquas enough. This used up most of my darks, I think my biggest piece remaining is roughly a five inch strip. Most of my dark strips are about 3 inches or less. I will have about a three inch usable chunk at the end of each strip I have cut to add to the scrap pile.
I will hopefully cut all of my aqua strips tomorrow.
