OOPS need advice
Hi Everyone....whew I survived the Tax season, many long days and late nights but I made it through lol...anyways, first time back in the sewing room and I made a oops...I've made this silly quilt 3 times before and I messed up this time...I'm making the Shadow Box quilt
....Anyhooooo, the windows are cut at 5"x20.5 right...so I'm trimming away and what have I done...I've cut some of my windows at 5 by 20"...so my question is should I just keep cutting them at 20" long or scrap those pieces Okie dokie fellow quilters advice please......

i would make them all 20" and plan on my finished being 19.5 instead of 20"==adjust as needed (depending on how many i cut wrong)-if there is only a couple and it wont effect having enough fabric i might set them aside, cut the correct size-and use the incorrect ones for something else, borders or something...if i've cut more than a couple i would just adjust the pattern for blocks 1/2" smaller

Thanks everyone I think that's what I should do...just cut them all 20" in length...it doesn't effect any other parts of the pattern pieces...just the windows will be shorter...Oh hum oopsy right off the start lol...all will turn out I hope...
