    Do they have a guest bed or a chair in their bedroom that could use a throw?

    I know how you feel. I've done some math with my sewing projects before that came out just as yours did.

    You can make another for yourself or someone else with not much more work to be done.

    I made a quilt last year from a munufacturers instructions, who shall remain nameless, the numbers for the cuts were way off, I discovered this after cutting enormous quantities of fabrics but not before sewing the quilt. So far the extra cuttings have made 2 king size shams to go with the quilt (a gift for my son), a bed runner for myself, 2 toss pillows, and I still have some left, which since most of them are 1/2 square triangles, are slated for use in some unchosen future quilt! The good news is that I love the fabrics.

    make one of those now popular things you put at the end of a bed????for some reason........or sew them into a long pillow tube.....so that the new owners can just slide their bed pillows into it instead of pillow shams...did that for my daughter and she liked that idea.....
