Mary, I certainly would speak to the manager but be sure to bring all the fabric you had to trim off to even the fabric when you talk to the manager. The reason I say this because when I had a dispute regarding fabric that was one not cut long enough and what was cut was very uneven I didn't have the scraps that I had to trim off to even it and they wouldn't do anything to make good without it. The manager at our store couldn;t have cared less whether I ever bought anything there again. Now I never buy their fabric only sewing notions and supplies that they have not had to measure or cut. Yes a fat quarter is 18 x 22 not 21".
