NZQ, there is absolutely nothing to apologize for! I seldom mention online the host gifts I receive or those who send a few extra dollars to carry someone who has come up short on shipping, that kind of thing. It’s never expected and I fear by posting about it, folks may feel obligated. The only obligation is to complete your Boomer blocks as best you can and pay shipping costs. That’s it. I send thank yous by email or I write a note. But this quilt was so amazingly unexpected and it’s arrival timing couldn’t have been better that I had to post a thank you on line. I couldn’t be quiet about this one but nobody should ever feel bad bc they didn’t make a block. Life is all about priorities and those that had time to make blocks did and not for a split second will I ever question why any particular boomer didn’t make a block. Boomers are the best and it has nothing to do with whether a block was contributed to the quilt or not. NZQ, big hugs for you.
