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.

It is frustrating when that happens. I always measure if I think it is even going to be close, but this swap I came up short even after measuring!

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.

I think it would be really helpful if we could send 12.5 x 18 instead of 11 x 18... so if you wanted to use the fabric as a whole background for applique you wouldn't have to piece it together. Some people voluntarily did this and I was able to cut their fabric into a 12.5" square with no seaming.
