Moon, thank you for that link. I have that exact barn panel and was wondering how to cut the blocks apart and use them in another way and that's a perfect example! Ill have to find me some barn wood fabric and some barn red fabric to use! It would go good with the fish too! What did we do before the internet?? My 91 year old cousin still cant imagine me being able to buy fabric on line!

I will shortly, been trying to get it sewn up this am and last night and yesterday morning. Been on the all for a few weeks now. Have to finish it so can move to the next. It should be done tonight if all goes my way. I do have to sew up a teddy bear for grand baby though. Well, off to work.

Libster, thank you for mentioning fabric size. Reminder, we use FAT EIGHTHs not EIGHTHs. They are NOT interchangeable for the purpose of this swap. A FAT EIGHTH is approximately 11x18, depending upon the shrinkage once your fabric is washed. It may end up being up to an inch smaller. (Imagine washing a single yard if fabric and cutting it into 8 equally sized pieces.). If your fabric shrinks A LOT so your F8s would be smaller than that, please cut pieces 11x18 inches and keep the smaller pieces that result for yourself. If you absolutely must use Eighths (9x22) inches, please let me know in advance. Most of us REALLY prefer F8s although some of us don't mind either way.

That gallery is so inspirational. I love the layouts and border treatments in addition to the gorgeous blocks you all have created.
How do you all decide which block you want to put together? I'm already agonizing over whether or not a fat eighth will be enough for the blocks I'd like to do. I fear cutting and then finding the oops. Do any of you select one block style and then do that block pattern for all the BOOM?

Have fun.
