    As I mentioned, I found several tutorials for a Granny Square (GS) quilt block. Finding a tute for a Great Granny Square (GGS) was my challenge. The difference being that the GGS has 4 rings (or rounds) where the GS has 3. So I drafted it out and voila!

    Starting to feel the bitter sweet excitement of making blocks I have never made before. I loved the last Repeat Boom. I was really glad I participated! I learned so much about making blocks that I may not have chosen to make. Learning to make the Jacob's Ladder pattern was the biggest pay off for me. It makes a beautiful scrappy quilt - (cutting my scraps as I go for my someday quilt For this Boom Swap, I will be putting these finished blocks together with others to finish a Christmas Sampler Quilt.....so......I chose a different block pattern for each of us from Quilters Cache, printed off the instructions and included the complete instructions with the F8s. Nothing more than 2-star rated....no paper piecing patterns. I am packed up and ready to mail F8s!

    I am giving everyone until June 30th to sign up and then fabric should be mailed to my by July 8th. Then I will send them out to everyone ASAP. Then you will have to have them mailed back to me by October 15. and I will then return you very own blocks ASAP. Time for you all to make them up for Christmas gifts if that is your plan.

    What pattern is everyone else thinking of requesting? This is a different twist to a Boom for me. Should be fun.

    I've got a pretty easy block picked out. It is a 3x3 grid with 8 HSTs and 1 solid square in the center.
