I received another block from Sandy P!

I love the simplicity of it and how it really sets off the kitty in the middle! Thank you! :)

Ladies I have a question for you that have participated in this boomerang and will be participating in 2.0

I have accidently cut 1 yard of my fabric into fat 1/16ths instead of 1/8. Should I send 2 of the same fabric in 9x11 (1/16th of the fabric) or should I send 2 different fabrics?

Of my (6) 1 yard cuts I have done this to only my first. So I am wondering whether I should send 2 different fabrics in the same size or just send 2 pieces of the one fabric...I would like to start stuffing my envelopes for the 2.0?
any comments would be appreciated.

thanks
Nancy

Well, that's how I did it, anyway. Hope this helps.

if you received 2 fat 16ths would you prefer they be the same fabric or 2 different fabrics?
Just curious so I know how to figure it out. I also googled what are the measurements of a fat eighth and they are 11x18 according to this website I found http://quilting.about.com/od/stepbys...t_quarters.htm
Thanks for the info....

Sorry ... :oops: I was typing under extreme exhaustion! I know I did mine okay ... well, I think I did ... why, oh why is this so tough for me??? Duh!!!

As for me, Tink, I would not care necessarily if both pieces were the same or different. Depending on what I received, it would help me to determine what pattern I would use...

Any body else disappointed when there's nothing 'good' in the mailbox?
