I try to save boxes for re-use because I don't like to spend the money to buy new ones. (To the accompaniment of a lot of background static from DH and DS)

Why is it that the boxes on hand are hardly ever the right size?

They are usually the wrong size because It inspires us to be creative and figure out how to cut them down to the right size you need. Or Murphy Law, which ever you prefer.

No, no. It's Gumberson who controls this! (Gumberson thought Murphy was an optimist.)

That actually makes sense when one thinks about it - why in the world would one continue to look after one finds it?

It is the wrong size because the quilt police took the right size on their raid!
