Nope, my stupid stick broke. Used it too many times on myself.
Just put the fabric to the side. I'm sure you will find something you can make with it. :)
We've all done things like that. Some of us just fail to admit it. lol

Sounds like a good excuse for a fabric shopping trip. And, goodness knows we all enjoy those.......
If I had a nickel for every time I cut fabric wrong (size, crooked, etc), I would be a millionaire!!!!! :lol:
Frankly, I just pass it all off as learning. When I make a mistake (or when I sew cutting off one of those endless triangle points), I just chalk it up to experience. I even tell my DH, "I'm learning a lot with this quilt---by the time I make 50 or so more, they "might" be perfect-- :mrgreen:

Oh, so sorry, but I have done that too many times to remember! Chalk it up to a learning experience and smile as you go merrily out to get more fabric. You will find the perfect project to use what you thought was a tragic mistake! You might even be able to use it in the current project! Relax and breathe. :lol:

Hehe thanks all.
I will be off to get more fabric this morning (with 4 kids) so no real fun in that. I'll get the exact same fabric because my little one picked it out by herself for her new "favorite blankie". :) But as you say, lesson learned.
One of my girls has been wanting to "sew" something. The two little ones love to pick up the scraps I don't use no matter how tiny and stick them in a purse or doll suitcase and carry them around. So I think those beautiful strips I cut will be put to good use letting them practice sewing. Or maybe I will let them braid them thick and roll them up and make little coasters. I think they would enjoy that.
And on the brighter side of things.... I did manage to cut to other two fabrics perfectly.
