Have a question about the swap. I've never been in a swap where block sizes are different. I am trying to figure out if I need to do more blocks to have a complete quilt.
This is what I think.
I need 18 blocks 12 ½ x 12 ½. I completed 12 blocks of 12 ½ and will be making 6 blocks 3½ x 9½. If swapped per size I should get like 15 but for my reasoning. So

When the swap happens, are they swapped per size? Like 1 block measuring 12 ½ equals 4 blocks of 3½? and each of the 3½ x 9½ equals 2 blocks of 3½?

Now I realized that I need to make at least 3 big ones or more little ones.

I need to show my husband that thinking of quilting all day (Like he suggests I do all day) is not only about fabrics and colors. IT is also Math!!!!
thanks all- I love this swap!
