Hi everyone. I mailed all of the envelopes yesterday (10/3). Each one is a different black and white fabric. This is going to be a charity quilt.
Also received three envelopes yesterday from Jillnjo, sewhappy30 and roseysue. Nice fabrics ladies. I'm headed to the sewing room now to pull fabrics and patterns. This is my third boom swap and it's wonderful working with new people. Happy sewing.

Advice:
What is the best way to figure out how to end up with a 12 1/2 " square?
I started to look at patterns last night and some are 9", 10", etc. I've never done a block that I had to send to someone else, so now it matters. For my own sizes I didn't really care as long as they are more or less came squared out in the end same sizes.
I thought it would be easy, but now I realize I will need to go through alot of 'mock ups' to get the sizing down right. :cry: Since I want to experiment learning new blocks.

I am also in that boat! But I have been doing samples as soon as I knew I was going to do this swap. I found a lot of my 12 in blocks in some of the quilting books I have.
My problem is now making sure it is 12 1/2 after it is finished. My seams are really good so I think some of the pattern pieces aren't exactlly the right size so do the test and measure the one inch square. That is what helped me the most.
