Right now, I think we're on boomerang 8. April (LovingIzabella) runs the booms and she says we're going to start signups for the next one in January. It's a lot of fun and I've had a good time doing them! And I was in a group of 38 to start with 2 side swaps - so I'll have 40 total blocks and be able to make 2 or 3 baby quilts or one big quit from them.
