@BrendaP I'm definitely not the quilt police but I did plan to send my finished quilt to a longarmer! But lots of longarmers are used to jersey on interfacing bc of t-shirt quilts, right? I think it'd be fine  :thumbsup: thanks for letting me know :)

This was my package! (My parcel?) You can see I received six different fabrics. I got three doubles, and I received none of my own fabric back. In total I have nine fat eighths.

Also you can say hi to my old dog Hooch, who is not allowed up in the sewing loft, but I can't stop him from snoozing by the sofa.  :loveit:

@Iminei it helped me to visualize by laying out seven plates (representing each boomer), and assigning 9 pieces of candy to each (if you have seven diff colors of candy all the better, or just use bits of paper) to represent the F8ths.

Walk through the steps of "mailing" them, redistributing them to plates (so now each plate has 9 pieces of candy, none of which were their original candy), and mailing back. Then every plate ends with their own candy again.

Welcome welcome @ScubaGirl ! I miss southeast Asia. I loved the food in Malaysia!
I have some swim fabric in stash thats been waiting around for me. I'm inspired by you, to make an attempt to sew it up!

I got excited and made a little "practice block" to get a feel for cutting from a fat eighth!


I used some Star Trek fabric featuring the Enterprise... and a couple blocks have an R2D2 themed print. for a Star Wars INTERLOPER.  0_0
I had some bonus triangles I made into those pinwheels. I used those to try my hand at a sort of improv-log-cabin with the pinwheel bases and all I really made was a MESS but it still might find its place in my final quilt! maybe on the back?

@StitchinTime you made some true marvels! I gasped aloud when I saw your tiny Ohio stars.

@Catllar what a cool rail fence! It reminds me of Gee's Bend quilts.

@RJR_38 glow in the dark is fine! In fact, I'm PRO glow in the dark.

 It's my spouse that hates glitter. Plus they read something about glitter scratching someone's cornea, and they're VERY squeamish about eyes and eyeballs. So we are a no glitter household

Yay! It arrived quite quick!
I'm asking for blues, cream/neutral/white, and/or space and star themed prints.
Also please no glitter fabrics- metallic print is okay, but no chunky glitter please!
And no "civil war reproduction" prints, which I realized after sending, that might be a more American thing :/ it's repro fabric of prints that were popular during the war on slavery and the antebellum south and I'm just not into it.

I'm so excited to see and feel all the fabrics! I'm also planning to make one  boom-block using scraps from everyone's fabrics

Sending out Tomorrow! Had work all week but I have tomorrow off and gonna pop to the post office.

Edited: it's in the mail!!!

@Wayfarer hope the machine gets fixed up soon- and that you can take some time to be easy on yourself, too  <3

It's very sweet!

That was my entire first quilt project that ended up getting worse and worse and more complicated and bigger and then I trashed the worst of it and gave away the salvageable bits.

But you've already done a stunning quilt! YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS @Wayfarer !

So this is the fabric I was leaning towards:

it's a little less aqua in the colored constellations and more a plain sky blue. I like it, but is it a little boring to add other fabrics to?
I have another contender:

It's a fun one, although cut up into small bits, the pattern might be lost.
