Grr

My first instinct was right; even cut and pieced, the length of fabric is about five inches too narrow for the quilt top.  So I've pulled a second, coordinating, piece to turn into a roughly ten-inch strip down the center.  Of course, I'd already put the ironing board, iron, cutting mat, ruler, and rotary cutter away....  Ah well.  My own fault for jumping the gun.  I just really wanted to get this one basted today.  But now the Squiddle is up from the nap he refused to take today, and overly active.  Le sigh....
