100% quilting cotton fabric

Color: BLUE - solids, tone on tone, or print as long as the main color is the majority.

I will be hosting this every couple weeks with a different color each time if there's interest, so come and join!

Anyhoooo, a fat eighth is half of a fat quarter. It measures either 11"x18" or 9"x22" senders choice. I've seen quilting sites that say 11x18 because it's "fatter" that way, hence the "fat eighth". Yet other quilting sites claim it's 1/4 yard cut in half for a piece that's 9x22. So while I'm making this senders choice, there maybe those out there who prefer one cut over another, so before you cut, it would be a nice thing to find out if your partner prefers one cut over the other.

For this swap, each person will have 2 partners and send 2 fat eighths to both of them for a total of 4 fat eighths.

Now for the bla-bla part. Only those will at least a 4.9 rating is accepted. Would like at least 5 type 3 swaps completed and rated - we ALL have to start somewhere! If you do not have at least 5 type 3 swaps, message me and I'll set up a private swap. If we've already participated in private swaps and you still don't have enough, message me and I'll consider allowing you to join. No recent unexplained or unfixed 1's or 3's.

I was searching fat eighth measurements and it said that they were 9 x 22. I have copied what I found into this comment -

Fat Eighth Packs! Great for projects, random quilts, or anything else you can think of! Includes 8 Fat Eighths, each measuring 9" x 22". Each pack is randomly assembled, and so it may not match the image shown.

Please verify the measurements for me. I am a bit confused and if I join, I want to send the right amount. Thanks! :)

Senders choice of 9x22 or 11x18 but it would be nice to check with your partner to see if they have a preference @JaMaJo
