I am a newbie quilter. I joined Boomerang Swap 5. I am so glad I did. I was not sure if I shoud or not. I of course, did not know how to make many blocks. A great place to find blocks is Quilterscache. Everyone has been very nice about the blocks I did. So, if you aren't sure whether to join or not. Jump in and give it a try. It was a great learning experince and a lot of fun making the blocks. Love getting blocks from everyone also.
