I contacted KQ and they don't have the fabic. Sooo, I am going to try cutting the 10 1/2 in block down to fit the strips and hopefully all won't be a total loss. This was to be a gift so I wanted it to be perfect! (That's the reason I purchased a kit-lol!) Thanks for all the suggestions, I knew I could count on this board for help.

if you already cut the strips and find two are too short, i'd add a corner stone (a square) to it so it would fit. sometimes directions aren't clear enough. don't cut your blocks down. i'd add the squares.

That's a great point!! You can always add instead of subtract!
They call that a design decision.

No extra fabric whatsoever!

I would contact the manufacture of the fabric. I was shorted fabric on a kit from Keepsake Quilting that had the pattern wrong. I got replacement fabric from both Keepsake and from Benartex who made the fabric. I got a much quicker response from Benartex than from Keepsake. Good luck.
