Thanks, Sally. Your site is a good resource. I've found lots of things online as I'm constantly searching for quilt blocks and ideas (aren't we all!!???). Some other sources are:

http://quiltville.com/
This is Bonnie Hunters' site. She's is an EXCELLENT resource. You'll get tons of ideas.

http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patterns/index.html
This is a really good list of quilt blocks. Fun to browse - - -

http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/top-qu...ips/index.html
Again, I could browse this site all day - - T

That should get some people going! This will be my second Boom. This past Boom 9 was quite an experience. Fun fun fun. I'm just about finished putting my quilt top together.

Yay Sally! I am following your board. Great blocks on there I haven't seen before.
jclingarey - thanks for the links! I had no idea about mccall's quilting.
One more place for ideas (or are we all over-whelmed now? :o) is our QB members' albums. A lot of the members have links to photo albums in their signatures. You will see several blocks that were created in past swaps.

Do you guys prefer poly or cotton batting for your quilt?

I joined! 1 small slow group for starters. Email sent to April.

Now I'm nervous about pleasing 16 different people! I will do the best I can.

Actually it is 15 unless you are worried about pleasing yourself. You will be fine Shadowirish. Pay mind to that 1/4" seam and be sure they measure 12.5" and you are good.

Sally, wonderful job!! I see so many familiar blocks from qc but see some new ones too. Thank you!

Jane

You can do anything you want, applique, pieced, embroidery, whatever, as long as you use the focus fabric you are sent along with what you use out of your stash.

Mary I know how you feel. I have joined 2 small groups and this is my first time joining. We will be fine.

Thanks catgirl! I really like picking blocks that way.
