I NEED HELP!!!! Seriously, I think we need to do a tute on how to cut the fabric...LOL. I originally cut all my fabric too big. Figured that out really fast when I ran out so fast...LOL. No big deal...I was cutting Fat QUARTERS by mistake. So, got more fabric and used what was cut wrong to cut them right.... Long story short, here is my issue...for some reason I am ending up with HUGE waste. I now have 17 pieces of my fabric that are about 7 inches by 18 inches. Is anyone else having this much waste? I have all but 12 envelopes totally ready to send out and my LQS is out of the fabric...if that tells you how much I have messed up on cutting this! Anyway, so I can either send something different to those 12 folks OR send the smaller pieces of 7 by 18. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

I received this beautiful block from Raya69, but it does not belong to me. Please let me know who sent out this red print and I will forward it onto you. I also uploaded my blocks to this web address. Can I have all of you take a look and let me know which block is yours. Being new, I didn't realize that it would be a big deal once the blocks were done and I really was keeping track on my sheet, however, a picture is much better. Anyway, from now on I have a much better plan to keep track, but I would like to clear up what I already have photos of. Thank you, I will understand if this is tooo much to do. I spent all day on it.

Thank ya'll SO MUCH for your help! I can't tell you how much I appreciate ya'll offering to take the smaller pieces. I think I'm going to go with the idea of sending a "bonus" piece of fabric along with the smaller piece so the recipient will get some to keep. Thanks again!! :D
