How do you all decide which block you want to put together? I'm already agonizing over whether or not a fat eighth will be enough for the blocks I'd like to do. I fear cutting and then finding the oops. Do any of you select one block style and then do that block pattern for all the BOOM?
I think I own the trademark on oops! Or it seemed so last boom when I was the newbie! Boomerangswap was the most fun I've had in a long time. I have a wall board so I put all the fabrics up & looked at them all the time. Some spoke to me right away, some whispered & I did't hear them until all the rest were done. Some I started one direction & finished totally different because the first idea didn't come together. Matching fabrics to pattern & pattern to fabric. I made several blocks more than once because I had an oops or two. Try perusing QuiltersCache.com. Or use your go to blocks that you have experience in making. Idea overload many days for me!
Have fun.
