Hi DHenson, We also each give fabric requests with our F8... so our blocks will hopefully stay in line with our vision for our quilts. For instance, you might say, "no black", or "use WOW (white on white) and the same colors as in the fabric", or anything else you might prefer. They are not hard and fast, but we do try to honor each other's requests. It's so much fun. Hope you will consider joining us. The only three rules are: to make the blocks 12.5" square exactly, to use a small stitch length between 10 and 12 sts per inch, and to use a seam no smaller than scant 1/4" and no bigger than 1/4". That's it.
