did f8's get smaller. Having the same issue here! I know the rules say 11X18, but I am grateful for those who were 1/2 - 1 inch generous on either measurement. I'm going to have to learn to add a third color. Sometimes the learning curve is steep for me.

Love the shuttle and satalite!

The name of the red block that looks like a tipped crown is Baby Bud from Quilters Cache. Hope you like it.
