OUCH! I have two opinions
1 if you are not someone who would be bothered by the small piecing, then I'd piece it together.
2 if you would be bothered then go get the pack and use the purple - you'd be building your stash!
I can feel your pain
I do hope you post a picture of this though - it sounds lovely.
QBeth - I didn't know Michaels was associated with Joanns! thanks for the tip

Michaels doesn't carry fabric, but they used to carry fat quarters. Then they closed them out, and I got these fat quarters (pack of 5) for $1.49 instead of $6.99. A few months back, some more showed up at the higher price, and I was holding off buying any until they get clearanced out again : ) That's why I hated to pay full price this time around, but I guess it all evens out (and I did use my 50% off coupon).
The colors are sort of mottled, so I didn't feel like I could substitute just anything, plus the colors run through a range of five colors, so adding a different purple would have changed it from the others.
I should have the strips done today and will post pics. Sewing the braids doesn't take long, but the pinning and ironing adds up!

I was squaring up a needle turn appliqué block and I cut it wrong. I was not going to do it over so I sewed a piece to it. I have not quilted it yet, but I am sure it will be just fine when it is quilted and washed. I was just sick about it when I did it, but I'm feeling okay about it now....and I'm pretty anal about getting things right.

So sorry this happened. I do know the feeling. I always dread starting a new project because I am so afraid of cutting it wrong. So I try to cut several projects at once while I have my nerve up and then I can just sew when the urge strikes.
