Jannie you have 3 weeks to mail your F8's to Janice once you get your names. Then you have 2 or 4 months to make your blocks and mail them back to her. The actual dates depends on when the boom is closed. Janice said she would be gone this week end so she will answer your question when she gets back I'm sure. If you have time now, just start cutting your fabric and packaging then all you'll have to do is put a name on each one. There's usually 16 or so in a group so you can start with that.
