Ok for those ladies that have participated in this boomerang and will be participating in 2.0 I have 2 questions...
I have accidently cut 1 yard of my fabric into fat 1/16ths instead of 1/8. Should I send 2 of the same fabric in 9x11 (1/16th of the fabric) or should I send 2 different fabrics?
Of my (6) 1 yard cuts I have done this to only my first. So I am wondering how I should do this? and what is the actual fat eighth measurement?
thanks
Nancy

Tink,
I would be fine with 2 F16's ... I can generally locate patterns that would work.
What I did this time around was take a yard of fabric, cut it into four 1/4 yd. pieces, then cut down the "fold" (lengthwise center) of the fabric. That gave me 8 F8's. They should measure about 9" x 22". (ladies, correct me if I'm wrong here, please?)
Well, that's how I did it, anyway. Hope this helps.

Just curious so I know how to figure it out. I also googled what are the measurements of a fat eighth and they are 11x18 according to this website I found http://quilting.about.com/od/stepbys...t_quarters.htm
Thanks for the info....

I am not sure yet if it will be one or more! Waiting to see how the blocks fit together. I sent out two different fabrics, it has been neat to see the blocks coming back! This swap is AWESOME. FUN FUN FUN :thumbup:
