Went through the Stars & Stripes swap and blues & yellows swap tonight. I sorted and will be using ALL of the Stars & Stripes between all 3 of baby boy's teachers. I'm so excited. Got a good stash to go through to pick from thanks to you. Will be using ALL black & whites in my sister-in-law's Mom's quilt. Thank you for doing these swaps!!! They are AWESOME!!!! You are a fantastic hostess!!!

As for patterns to use with the 10 1/2 inch Layer Cakes - I remember Missouri Star Quilt Co. had a tutorial for a table runner.

Thanks marybrace for letting me know I am not the only one who can't always follow a straight line of the ruler.
Somehow my hand wants to " turn right " - must be a hidden garmin somewhere in the room gving directions :lol: :lol: :lol:
I did finally figure out the problem was being caused mostly by my fabric choice. The weave was off and caused undo stretching and uneven cutting.
Off to do the last set in different fabric. The "bad squares will become mug rugs. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
