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 :D

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. :nod 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 :D 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 :grin: ), so you should be fine. Or we'll be running from the crafting police together ... and riding chocobos to escape :choco
I'll need a chocobo please! I always end up bending the rules!
