Wahoo for you Izy- I'm glad the boxes made it to you in one piece :):) Of course, if the mailman dropped the one box, he would have been picking up pieces of fabric forever :):) The 10 inch squares are the same size of what we buy as 'layer cakes' here in the states. I'm also happy you like the minkee too! To me, it was hard to sew after sewing cotton, but it probably was just the operator of the sewing machine hahahaa....
