I have all sorts of strange shapes cut out of mine. I just pin a slip of paper on those to remind me there may not be the full amount I purchased so I don't run short on a project.

Ditto - I do a lot of fussy cuts.

I see it done that way a lot. It bugs me too.

You never know when that tiny piece you trim off will be needed. I needed eight 2 3/8 inch squares and came up 1 short. That tiny littlw piece would matter in that case.

That looks like mine. Since I am the only one to see them it does not bother me. I just toss my leftovers in a basket and when it gets full I don't figure anyone would want them anyway so I just toss them.

To each, his own. We all have our little quirks and disgruntles. I think as I get older, things aren't quite so important as I used to think they were.

Jagged edges and holes cut out...my pet peeve. :-)

I'm with you!!!!!
