HERE IS MY DISCLAIMER! I've come to the conclusion that everyone in this Boom is way better at making blocks then me. The blocks I have received, I can only dream of someday being good enough to "copy" them.

With that said, I received three more grown ups this weekend in order dahna, Alikat, RoseIrish:

Exactly, made the 2 blocks the same day and Alikat was nice enough to send it on for me. One of those lapses apparently :eek:, but glad you have it. I have received from everyone and they are all returned to you. I'm waiting on 15 to come back.

Don't be too hard on yourself ArizonaKat. What is that old saying? Practice makes perfect. Not that we are all perfect; we all still make mistakes (that's why seem rippers were invented right!).

I have found that participating in these boom swaps has help improve my piecing and has given me more confidence to try newer and often harder blocks. If you haven't looked up quilterscache.com, you should. Great directions and a large selection of blocks at different skill levels. Now if I could just have a fraction of this confidence in the quilting and binding steps, I could finish up my ever increasing pile of UFO's. I find those steps intimidating. :)

I recounted and it looks like Im waiting on 17 to come home instead of the 14 I thought I had counted...No hurry at all as I have several other projects Im working on. I had thought I would make quilts for my two great grandkids for Christmas this year..now it appears its going to be 3 great grandkids soooooo..thinking forward to July and the next swap Im already thinking the fabric I have will be sent to you guys to help me make these! One has Pooh and Tigger on it and the other one has characters out of nursery rhymes so all 3 great grandkids will have new quilts for Christmas! .Thanks in advance!:D

I just received blocks from OK Darla and joanelizbay - pictures below. This is for the sideswap.

Getting caught up from a hectic weekend!

Received F8's from Mosher92 and Tracibug. The only F8 I'm missing is Girlscouts1.

Looks like I'm waiting on 11 grown-up blocks. :)

H2,i everyone, I have now sent off all my blocks. They went out last Friday, so you should be receiving them soon. Thank you all so much for swapping with me. I hope you like your blocks as much as I liked making them. I was late sending my f8's so I am trying to be patient waiting for the blocks to come back.

I have rec'd these blocks in order country1, jaba, joanlizbay, ljdugas31, mosher92, nanakathy55, travelinggramma

Well, darn, travelinggramma is the one with the baskets and the last one is nanakathy.

I have to admit, I was so excited to get blocks that I misplaced the envelopes and don't know who these belong to. Please forgive me and let me know who made them. I have them filed as pacific9-2, pacific9-3 pacific9-1
