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. :shock: :eek:

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!

lovely blocks ladies. Love the space station. The ballerina block is so soft and pretty. What is the name of the red block that looks like a tipped crown?

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. :thumbup:
