Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm working on Boom blocks this week. I'll let you know when I send yours out.

Looking forward to 2.0!

April, I will get all my blocks out asap! one thing I learned was I do NOT have a stash I am a newbie and I found out I did not have fabric to match or that would work together with the fabric that everyone sent! After to many trips to the LQS I now have a F4 to work with everyones fabric. I have 7 cut out and ready to sew. I can get them sent back on time. :thumbup:

I am sad I can't do 2.0, but I will be following the post to see all the AWESOME blocks!

I have a bit of a dilemma:

When I first started sewing (after my work project from hell was over). I decided to do 2 blocks for each F8. One is the same for everyone and one different - depending what the fabric wanted.

Now I have 20 squishies in the post and 1 more ready to go, leaving 14.

I know that I can get the single blocks done in time, but not 2. Should I finish the single block, send it out to meet my deadline and send the second block out later?

Any input?

I would be okay waiting to receive both blocks together.

Can ya'll see me doing the happy dance here? I am so pleased with being able to get in the swap. I was silly and passed it up the first time and shouldn't have. I may end up droping out of all my other swaps as soon as my committment is met but I am gonna hang with this one. I like the idea of sending out F8s and getting blocks back made with that material. I also LOVE the idea of getting F8s in the mail and making someone a block out of it. I have a good stash and am not afraid to go out and buy more material to go with a F8 if I need it. I am still pretty much a beginner so I don't know how fancy my blocks will be but that's not the point is it? The point is that I will put my all into each and every block I make and can only hope that the blocks' mommy or daddy (since we do have men quilters) like what I make them. I wonder if I can do my favorite block with a F8 and white? mmmm ..... Can't WAIT to get started. And since I just ordered 42 F4s I will have plenty of material that I can cut into F8s and send out and still have plenty left for me.

April....I have beeb really struggling here with boomerang 2.0. I felt that when I lost my job I should not paticipate but as my DH pointed out I do have enough stash to send out a different fabric to everyone in the swap and end up with an awesome scrappy sampler and all it would cost me would be the postage. SSSSoooo...if there is still room I would like to be included in 2.0
