Ladies I have a question for you that have participated in this boomerang and will be participating in 2.0
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 whether I should send 2 different fabrics in the same size or just send 2 pieces of the one fabric...I would like to start stuffing my envelopes for the 2.0?
any comments would be appreciated.
thanks
Nancy

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....
As for me, Tink, I would not care necessarily if both pieces were the same or different. Depending on what I received, it would help me to determine what pattern I would use...
