    Follow the advice of the quilters who're telling you to piece the scraps together to get the length you need. And if it is just .5, you can use some similar colored fabric and once it is quilted only the eagle eyed will ever see it if you can resist pointing it out. Trust me, it won't be long until you have to look for it. froggyintexas

    You can make a color copy of your fabric & print it on inkjet fabric sheets! Works like magic! There are several brands--EQ printables, Printed Treasures, etc. You actually have a piece of fabric. If the piece is too small, you can make a copy of the small piece then lay the fabric on the copy & copy again before printing on the inkjet sheet.

    I wish I could say I have never been in that boat but truth told, I have been along for several rides. Like the others have said, Just sew a piece of scrap to the shot cut piece and after your quilt has been quilted, only you will know where the repair was needed.

    This just happened to me on my last quilt! Tried to buy more of the fabric but couldn't find online or at any of the LQS within 50 miles! So I sewed together several of my scraps and although I can see it, it blends in nicely and no one else can see it!
