    Everyone Thanks so much for the comments on my fabric!

    I figured I would give you all a little background on this fabric. I bought them in September when Kysmommy and I went on the sierra to sage quilt shop hop, it goes to 14 different quilt shops here in CA and NV.

    I saw the fabric and loved it so I bought it immediately, so it's been sitting since September. Once I found out about the boomerang swap I knew what I would use this fabric for-yay I am so excited to finally start this swap.

    I look forward to receiving my squishies in the mail and making your blocks too!!

    Beautiful fabrics Tink!

    I do not mind applique at all-in fact I do not mind any kind of block all I ask is you put yourself in to it. Regular pieced, paper pieced, applique-anything goes and any block goes.

    I love your fabrics Tink.... I have a thing for butterflies so I kind of hope one of those come this way but the others are pretty also.

    I mailed all mine off after work today so the middle of next week all those in the states should start seeing squishies
    I'm not sure how long the one will take to reach the U.K.
    Being that no 2 of mine I sent were the same I didn't take pictures so you'll have to wait and be surprised.

    Karen,
    If oyu are cutting from a yard of fabric the best way is to usually cut it into half yards, cut that in half (on the fold of the yard is usually the way I do it) and then cut the fat quarter in to half so you get an F8 that is 18 x 11. Hope this helps :-)

    All of mine were mailed this morning. The one going to the UK was $.83 and I didn't have to fill out any extra paperwork.
