I left them at 9.5" square but they can be cut down to 6.5" square or 9.5"x6.5" if wanted.
P.S. I sent a pm to join the swap just now. Thanks for having me.

In all fairness though... I don't understand the golfing thing either. So.. we are even.

Oooo these sound interesting Short an Sweet! Just let me know when you are signing up what you want to do, ok?
I can't wait to see them!
I have been learning to use my embroidery module and I hope to use it in one of my block sets.
Isn't learning something new fun?

LOL at the reverse comment! ;)
He helps me load the quilt onto the frame when I go to quilt it, helps choose fabric colors, and helps cut pieces sometimes, but other than embroidery (he finds the machine fascinating :lol: ), he doesn't really enjoy the actual sewing or piecing process. It's fun spending time with him though, and I really appreciate his help. :thumbup:
I think you two are adorable working together like this. My hubby won't even try to learn anything to do with sewing or the machines. He thinks the reverse setting takes the stitches out! LOL...
In all fairness though... I don't understand the golfing thing either. So.. we are even.

Luv 2 Sew; if this is to be your blocks I sure hope Santa Claus drops into my swap packet. If I am lucky enough to get one from you, it will become part of a lap cover for the back of my divan.
