Been there ... done that.
Have also had patterns that were not specific on how many strips need to be cut. For example ... Omigosh pattern tells me how many double nine patch blocks I need and the size of the blocks. It was up to ME and MY math skills to figure out how many 1" strips I needed to cut of each color (to make 110 blocks!). Then there are the 109 Shoo Fly blocks I still need to do the math on.
