Know the feeling

Just think of all the quilting opportunities with all the extra strips already cut!

I've done that. I usually find my mistake after cutting everything. That's why I have two totes of scraps. :lol:

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I seem to get my directions and cutting all 'twisted around', hence my name. Someday I'm going to learn to read and measure correctly. :wink:

LOL! Been there, done that. But as I read your post, I caught that in the 1st sentence - 5/8 yd of 18 fabrics. I thought to myself, "HOW big is this quilt gonna be??" :lol:

That's for sure! the DP9 I made i decided to "wing it" with no pattern in mind. Ended with enough pieces to make two good-sized baby quilts. Kept one and donated the other.

Hey, hey! You are no longer a beginning quilter! Guess no one told you this mistake is a requirement to join the club, LOL!!

But *you* have such a delightful attitude about it all.......not sure that's allowed! Most of us have to swear, stamp a foot, throw things, quit for the day. ;-)

I think every quilter has been there! Can hardly wait to see the picture when its done :D

Look at it this way. You have a head start for your next project. I know because i have done that to.

lol... been there... bought the T-shirt. Then 'upgraded' to another! It's so easy to mis-read the instructions on patterns, books, magazines and stuff - cause folks tend to notate their instructions differently.

Not to worry, it will happen again. lol. Great job in figuring out a way to salvage/use the remainders of your cuts. That can be fun too.

oh... I created a Thanksgiving 'harvest' theme wall quilt out of the last er... 'misread' that I did. Looks smashing, like I set OUT to make that darn thing in the first place! <smile>
