Boomerang Friendship Swap 1.0(Sign-Ups Closed)-Need Help Identifying Two Fabrics :-) 09/27/10
#722
I'm doing great and loving it!!!!
I am finding some fabric challenging to find that "just right" coordinating fabric. Other's I am puzzled on what to do with the block....should I piece this one, or cut a big square and applique something? Should I piece AND applique....hmmm. what to do with this one. And I am constantly (and I know this is dumb) wondering if my blocks are going to be "good enough", is the owner going to like it...lol. I LOVE EVERY block I get and treasure each one, so I know others will too! The very idea that someone took the time and thought to make lil' ol me a block! I just adore each one!
So...I am having to tell myself to QUIT stressing...this is FUN! Not necessarily perfect! Geesh :shock:

I'm also having a great time -- I have found so many sources for block patterns that I never knew existed, I'm having as much fun looking at and for patterns as I am making them. It's amazing what's "out there" on the internet. I've had the excuse to finally pull books off of the bookshelves that I haven't opened since I bought them. I probably have printed out enought patterns for several more swaps!
