Good morning, Boomers! I'm out of town this weekend but I've done my tallying anyway. Today we have Group 1 with 20 members and Group 2 with 16. Not too bad at all! Woo hoo. (Reminder to everyone that both groups are 3 month groups for this round.) Both groups should prepare 19 f8s which must be pre-washed, deselvaged, 11x18 inch pieces, or in a pinch 10x18, but not a hair smaller or I'll return them unswapped. Even though Group 2 has only 16 members, I'll swap the extra few to others in the group so everyone can have a full complement of 19 blocks returned. I'm still waiting to hear from one person. In the event I don't hear back from her in the next couple of days, she will be dropped from the groups. We'll still go with 19 F8s per group though. Don't worry, I've got it under control!!!

Also, if you haven't yet done so, please figure out your fabric requests, if any, and be sure to make them clear and concise. You'll want to put them in your individual ziplock type bags containing your F8s, so they're clearly visible along with your QB Board Name. I don't care if your name is on a label on the outside or on a slip of paper on the inside but it must be easily readable from the outside. When you've got those together, put all the F8s for your group inside a large ziplock-type bag with your name on it. Those in both groups must separate the F8s into two bags. Please don't put 38 in a mailing bag and call it done. Please make this easy for me. Thanks!

So, I'm going to go through all the sign-ups emails one more time to make sure I've got everything correct before I post names and groups. That'll probably be late tomorrow evening. About the same time, I'll send everyone an email with my mailing address and the "rules" once again. You will need to reply to that email to continue! At that time, I should have the individual group threads set up so I'll give you a link to them.

I'll be back to you tomorrow, if not sooner. Thanks, Boomers, for signing up!
