I thought I had solved the problem by trimming all the squares to be 9 3/4. But no. With those rascals that got away from the main herd, I now have to retrim everything down to about 9 1/2. Now the quilt size will be too small and skimpy. I am really ticked. I also had a bad experience with a Free Spirit layer cake. I love the layer cake for it's versatility and because I can pick up one on a DD just because I like it. But it isn't worth it for hours of fiddling and eventually, buying even more fabric to be able to finish a piece. I've had it.
Yea thats full of fail, on the manufactures part. Its a shame you have to trim down a whole 1/2" to accommodate the short pieces.

I just want all the squares in a pack to be the same 10" not larger or smaller just 10" that your project is calling for.

I tossed all the short ones aside bc I bought the MSQC Dresden ruler and the short fabrics were well to short, Im not sure what I'm going to do with all the short squares, sure I can cut them down but wow such a waste of fabric and money.

I love that MSQC Dresden ruler and when the square is the correct size the ruler is a awesome tool, they are like BFF's! To make my life a little easier I ended up buying yardage here at MSQC and cutting my own 10" squares to work with that ruler.

Good luck with your quilt!!
