Just on the fabric it comes in under size. I haven't started it yet just in case but I wanted to know beforehand.

Both fine with me.
The size restriction is just meant to make you think smaller (and maybe more creatively) in terms of your designs / items

Ok! I have been working on this like crazy trying to get as much done as I can in the 2 week lecture break (caus I know I will become more busy once uni goes back) and I am about 1/2 done. The only problem is I am falling in love with it as I make it, this is going to be so hard to send at the end... But I know someone else is making something awesome for me, so I think I will manage.

LMAO the same thing is happening to me, I love what I am making for my swap partner but as long as they love it too its going to have a good home, plus since I made it once I can always remake it right!?!?!?! Although a few family members want one thing in particular so I am almost guaranteed to remake at least that one thing.

This was a problem for lots of people last swap too. The bright side is, if you love it this much, think of how much your partner will love it!

Happens to me every single swap. There's always something I want to keep for my own.

I say this every time...and have yet to remake any of those things. LOL. I guess I'll get around to them at some point.

Yeah, hopefully they will like it even half as much as I do then it will be effort well spent.

At some point in this thread, BMH said they would look the other way for rule bending on size, since I asked because I'm a quilter so my thing will be larger than 8" square (though I have some really creative ways to prove that it fits ), so you should be fine. Or we'll be running from the crafting police together ... and riding chocobos to escape

I'll need a chocobo please! I always end up bending the rules!

I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close to being done and yet I'm not.

Haha, better than me, being nowhere near finished.

got all of the necessary items to finish my gift(s), so i hope to have it finished this weekend
