Juliasb, welcome! I hope you will enjoy yourself. As i may have said in my email, the swap (me) is a bit fussy the first time around, getting all the little moving parts (rules) set but ultimately, it's making blocks you are proud of. Once the shipping is out of the way, it's a piece of cake. And there are several new people so far this round who will all be learning the ropes. Don't hesitate to ask any questions because if you have a question, I can guarantee someone else has (or has had) the same one. There are no silly questions at all.

I haven't done a swap like this in many years as life just got in the way of such fun. I love quilting and have been quilting now for more than 30 years. I mostly love patchworking. My stash will long outlive me. This swap is a great way for me to dig into my stash and use it for just what it is supposed to be used for. I have been on the Quilt Board now since 2010 I think? I went inactive a few years ago, as I said life got in the way. I consider myself an intermediate quilter.
I am looking forward to getting to know as many of you as I can. Be patient with me as I learn the ropes of this swap. Who know's I might get it just right the first time around.
Kassaundra...hmmm, repeats huh?... Love the Cricket pix. It's good to see her and the baby looking so healthy.

SuziSew, I've got your email but haven't responded yet. Will try to do so later today but I've got you down on the list for the 3 month. Thanks!

Oh, boy, AQ, do I know the feeling...lurk away!

Libster, thanks for the fabric pic. Am already grabbing the pix and adding them to the gallery. Do you know which fabric is for which group or does it even matter to you?

These are my two fabrics for this Boom.
Got it!
