Your forgot to add the seam allowance. You need to cut the strips 8.5" long, not 8 if you've already cut them all and want to salvage them, just cut a half inch from the red or striped fabric. Cut the same one on all the blocks. One rail will be a bit narrower, but that will just add interest to your quilt.

We have all been in your shoes. If you have already cut most of the fabric fine. It will be a little smaller block is all, so cut the block that is to big to match the smaller one. You have not ruined anything. We all learn something new in quilting each day. Even us old folks learn new things and make mistakes.
Keep on Sewing!!!!!!!

Thanks. I watched a tutorial on Missouristarquilt and when she sewed her jelly roll strips together using a 1/4 in seam the instruction was to measure from top to bottom which was said to be 8 inches and then cut in by that amt to make a perfect sq. so that is what I was following. I only cut these two so far so I should be able good to go from here. Thanks again and again as always.
