Sorry that happened. Blocks / patches on the back will solve the issue. A lot of times I add a strip of pieces to get the extra inches .

Just a new opportunity!

I was cutting out scrub tops and did not pay attention. When I grabbed the back pieces (I like mass producing), I thought I did not cut out the front "V" neck and started cutting it out, only to realize my mistake. Did some fancy patching and still wear them as a reminder to myself to be careful. Oddly enough, no one at work has ever commneted on it.

This makes me feel better about the issues I create !! Guess the problem solving is good for my 73 year old brain !!!

And you created an opportunity to improvise! One thing I like to do with quilt backs is put a strip of a fabric that is or some 'extra' (which means 'not quite right but arranged to look good')blocks from the top on one side. It saves me $$, uses the blocks, and, if the quilt is a small childs charity quilt, gives the child a more grown up alternative to the top as he or she grows up.

That happened to me when a friend sent a sweatshirt for my youngest. I cut it right in the neck! Wrapping the fabric (or shirt) would prevent that. I'd let the seller know they should invest in a little tissue paper.
