Put the extra pieces aside or the time being. You will not be happy with anything that you make with them while you are still mad at yourself. I know from experience. Those pieces are large enough to make many things out of them. Tomorrow is another day. Peace.

Done that before. You can make another quilt with them or use them for smaller things like pillows, wall hangings, or table toppers. That way, they match the quilt. If it makes you feel any better, I never cut the right amount. I always cut extra(incase I mess up on something, I don't have to take it apart) and end up with scraps all the time. I don't like following directions though.

I had to refigure a throw pattern to make it a queen. I needed to have 60 1/2 sq triangles so I would have to cut 30 squares....not me I cut 60 squares of them not only to one fabric but with 2, any ideas on what to make with the extras, they are 6 7/8 squares. Not only am I upset over that but I could have gotten away with alot less fabric. I could have used that $ towards fabric for another project !!!

I do that all the time. Maybe not to that degree, but more than I need anyway. Just make two quilts. Easy enough.
Also if you wind up with extra blocks by doing something along the same line, you can always use them when you make carry bags. Put them in the front and frame them with coordinating fabrics.
