Boom swaps are "the bomb"!!!! lol Each quilter pics fabric they want to use. Cut one F8 for each swapper. Send your F8's along w/ basic instructions (preferred colors, don't use colors, etc..) to the moderator she sends each swapper one of each of the F8's. Finish all blocks w/ all the different types of fabrics however you are inspired (w/I the wishes of the F8 owner) send back to the mod. she sorts so everyone gets the blocks made w/ their own F8 and sends them back. A little extra on postage ($6.10 x 4 mailings over several months) but so much fun. Go onto the latest boom swap thread the first post, at the end of her post is a link to a pic gallery where you can see the fabrics and what each quilter did w/ it.
