In agreement moonwork! Watch your sizes swappers. Try to get to that 11x18 inch size of USABLE fabric. Selvages don't count!
Thank you!

Please be sure to allow for the selvages because you can lose vital cutting abilities if the selvage is "part" of the 11" or 18".
If in doubt, trim off the selvage and then make your 11 x 18 cuts.
On some of my fabric this time, the edge will be slanted but there is no less than 11 x 18 ... I allowed for extra because who ever cut the fabric off the bolt did a wonderful "angle" cut and rather than waste that fabric by trimming it down to 18", I just included it.
