I found overall they were not too bad. I did have one that was too large so that was easy to solve. If it is too small to make it work it will go in the kids print scrap pile. This way it will still get used.

I'm thinking if I join this swap, I'll just take my received squares and if they don't match in size, just cut them all down to 4-1/2". Gotta see if I have any swap-worthy fabrics, first.
