1.Go ahead and overcast. I do it frequently.
2. Yes, yiu can send cash if you want.
3. as long as the FQ measures 18 X 22 it doesn't matter.

2) Is it okay to send cash (Amount on mailing envelope to you plus $0.50) instead of stamps? (Example: My envelope cost $4.00 to send to you - I will send you $4.50 and hope for the best)
3) Some yardage is less than 44/45 inches wide. Is half the width of the fabric ok? I've had some fabrics end up as narrow as 40 inches after washing.

Unfortunately, yes. A fat quarter is 18 X 22 and if we used odd-sized material then some people would get shorted a little bit of material and that's not the goal of the swap. I want to be fair to everyone,
