You probably know more about it then I do, but when I did my applique blocks, I cut my background fabric 1/2 inch too large purposely, That way if they pulled and came out smaller I could still trim them to the size I wanted. Does that make sense? Leave them larger until after your pattern is embroidered on and then cut? HTH.

PS... love them all. Love the red especially.

That is what I did, but they design did not lend itself to the 9.5" size so I need to add borders to fill the block up and make it look nicer. It will look more complete. If I get the two quilts quitled tonight, then will work on them and post a photo for you.

Yes, this swap is officially now closed. And yes, I am excited to have all the blocks mailed to me and swapped out and everyone getting their blocks back home again. It will be fun!

Tracibug, cute cowboy block!

Really stunning blocks and I don't think they need bordering. Personally, I'd rather receive them plain and if they need to be larger for my design, would prefer bordering them myself.

Tracibug -- wonderful happy Cowboy Christmas block!
