    Thanks Janice. I thought I remembered something along those lines. So I already through it in the wash.

    This will be my second Boom and I'm doing the 2 month round. I love playing with everyone's fabrics and waiting to see how others creativity works on my fabric.

    This is the fabric I going with. Asking that only black and cream be added to the blocks.

    I'm still on the fence - I have not assembled the blocks from the last two swaps . . . but will admit it is so fun to be able to experiment with different block designs.

    Your fabric is beautiful Bugaroo! I love butterflies.
    This is the fabric that Bill picked out for his fall quilt. I like it too and think he did a great job picking it out. I'll include note in the baggie. The other pic is the brights I will be sending to the other group and will include note also.

    Bugaroo, that butterfly fabric is super gorgeous. What a great quilt it will make with the black in it.

    I have been cutting my 1930's repro prints up into F8ths. I am going to have you all add white or white-on-white, to make blocks for children's and baby quilts. With a few of the prints I will ask for another color as well, but most will only be paired with white.

    I hope we get enough sign ups to make two good-sized groups. I'm looking forward to 'playing' with your fabrics!

    The sun finally came out for a few minutes so I could try to get pics of my fabrics. The first one is for the two month group, I'm asking for only matching cream or COC be added along with only 1 other color in the print, your choice of which color it is.
    The floral is for the three month group. I'm asking for only cream or COC be added to it.

    Love the butterflies and the fall print.

    Now I’m jealous. Look at those nice uniform thumbnails. Then there is my 6 X 8” attachment.

    Next week I’ll have to take a lesson in picture posting. Obviously I’m not reading the instructions with the proper understanding.

    These are my fabrics for both groups. They are mostly 30's repros and other juvenilles, for quilts for babies and small children.

    Love those spotted fabrics, Jaba. Cuter than solids!

    I got all of my fabric washed, pressed and cut to size, then folded and put into baggies with their notes. Making the baggies is my least favorite part of the process, so I’m happy to have that done.
