Uneven strips

One of the disadvantages of using the clean up cuts is the fact that they only have one straight edge, the other edge is however it was cut at the store. I could straighten that edge too, but I like the mystery of leaving it and seeing what happens. You can see that the strip set doesn't lay flat even after pressing. I cut the first square out of the part that is buckling. You can easily smooth out the area to cut one square.
The second cut is made in the next area that is pulling.
Now the rest of the strip set is laying flat enough to cut the rest of the squares out edge to edge.

I'm off to the car dealer's service department for an oil change this morning. Hopefully that is all my car needs.
