I have been washing fabrics to go with the fat 8's I received and I was amazed at how many of the fabrics gave off some color. I did set them and washed them again and they came clear. Is this a trend with the new somewhat darker fabrics? Had no trouble at all with the pastels. I have received two blocks and need to post the pictures but still missing a few fat 8's:cjt-mama,ispy.and the quilted dove. No problem as there is plenty to do while hubby naps.

I'm definitely in for "Boom 2.10" (No. 2 for 2010) as well.
I also think a fat8 is fine. I'm finding that it will fit in a regular business envelope and go out for 44 cents. So will one completed block if it isn't too bumpy with seams and all the air is out of it.
I agree the more the merrier, which will make the quilt the "biggerer".
The timeframe could be extended, but need to make sure time doesn't get away completely and blocks forgotten altogether. I'm finding 3 months plenty -- in fact, I only have four more to complete, and I didn't feel too rushed. Probably most of the delay came from sending out my own fabric. Now that we know ahead of time, we can be ready for lift-off April l.
Yeah - please post the basket pattern. It's adorable, especially with spring and Easter coming.
And I, too, feel the pain of blocks coming out too small. I guess that's part of the learning process here. My seams are getting smaller, and smaller.
And finally, April -- thanks again for all your work and encouragement and good wishes and positive thoughts ... we wouldn't be doing any of this if it weren't for you.
