Bee Beatty - welcome to Boom swaps!
Boom 10 was my first and I used fabric that was dark brown with tiny orange, purple, yellow, and blue birds with green leaves. I asked people to use a color in the fabric but NOT brown. Others in my group asked for only white, some said do whatever you think looks good. Some included why the fabric was special or who the finished quilt would go to. Anything to help me pick fabrics and create a special block for you should be in the note.
I've pondered on the pictures question several have asked. I think that we should still post finished blocks to our album at least. Then the receiving party can peek if they want, and others in the group can look at the block if they need inspiration. Happy Thanksgiving!
