And, GramE, if I join a boom, could I make the same block for everyone, just out of their own fabric?
I try to fit the block to the fabric but sometimes I get a favorite block and I begin to think it looks good with every fabric. Most send all the same, but not always. It is hard to use just their fabric. Blocks must be 12 1/2" square so you have to add some of your own. Some fabrics lend themselves to needing just one color added, some need 2,3 or more. That's what I like. It's like making little mini Quilts.
