They are very poorly cut. A few weeks ago, in another thread, I said that mine were cut o.k., but now that I am actually sewing them together, I see that they are definitely NOT o.k. I am having to constantly measure to make sure I get all strips 2" wide from top to bottom; therefore, the seam allowances range from 3/8" to 5/8" and that range can be in just one 8-1/2" section. I am managing to get them where and how I want them (or so it seems), but I cannot do it without consistently measuring as I attach each piece. It's a good thing I'm not in a big hurry.
