Boom 19 - Autumn
#1692
Count me in as those who are addicted! I would love to start before the holidays, but fully understand delaying until afterwards! I have learned so much about color and design by watching what all of you come up with! What a treasure this group is.

Joan, yea for your grandson! I know how proud of him you must be, and deservedly so!
Hav4Boys, love all of your blocks. Well done!

So excited about getting blocks back! As for my $.02 on the next swap, I really won't be able to start the work until after the new year, but that doesn't mean we cant cut and send in our fabrics and get them back before then. There is always gobs of time to get those blocks made. Two months, or three... that's gobs. Let's get the next party started! I have my fabrics picked out.

I have a question about these booms and how they work. I've read the first page with instructions. Would I be sending in 16 F8 (are these fat quarters?) and different people would be making blocks using this material, then I would be getting 16 blocks back? So, when I get a F8 from someone else, I would make a block out of that material and send that back. I'm assuming I would add material from my stash to complete the blocks using the received F8 as the focus fabric. Am I on the right track???

Hi DHenson, We also each give fabric requests with our F8... so our blocks will hopefully stay in line with our vision for our quilts. For instance, you might say, "no black", or "use WOW (white on white) and the same colors as in the fabric", or anything else you might prefer. They are not hard and fast, but we do try to honor each other's requests. It's so much fun. Hope you will consider joining us. The only three rules are: to make the blocks 12.5" square exactly, to use a small stitch length between 10 and 12 sts per inch, and to use a seam no smaller than scant 1/4" and no bigger than 1/4". That's it.
