Oh, I agree with Patrice-too confusing!! I don't mind doing 2 per month, but I'll be starting my busy season real soon-besides running my business, I run our local farmers market, which keeps me soooooo busy.
But I love the fact that I can make something for myself every once in awhile!!!!

I know that with everything else going on I can't handle more then 2 so the idea of 1 on the 1st and then another on the 15th works for me. As for the design I think it should be up to whom evers turn it is.

Now my question is does the person whoes turn it is pick both blocks or should we go to the next person for the second block.

If we go to the second person we could forseeably can get through the list in 1 1/2 years instead of 3

Last time I talked to Boo she was thinking of having two people each pick one block the first of the month. You would have your choice or do them both.........this is so it would not drag on. I asked to take my name off list but will do whatever I feel like in the blocks, may be others who do not want to choose a block. :wink:

Tim,
I'm a retired kindergarten/first grade teacher. You can't scare me! I can manipulate popsicle sticks, orange rinds, silly putty AND top it all with glitter! I'm ready! Bring it on!!! :lol:


I vote for two blocks a month. Continue down the list and have two people post their choices on the first of the month. That way people can work at their own pace. I prefer to do both blocks at the same time so I can put the pink fabric back in it's box then until the next month. I'll have to paint Tim's orange rinds pink you know!

So you pull the old "Glitter Gambit" on me, eh? I'll come up with something, even if I have to get my 9 YO to help me.

I agree with Yvonne, 2 blocks a month at the 1st of the month so we have plenty of time to do them. I personaly have a lot on my plate every day. I work; get grandkids off to school & am there when they get home. I don't get to come home until someone gets home from work!!! It kind of cuts into my sewing time. But I love them.
Tim, I like your idea of the popscicle sticks etc. I work in a elem. school as a lunchlady so I'm around kids ALL day. I love it.

I don't think having more than one block per month solves the waiting list problem. It just reduces waiting period from 3 years to 18 months, which still seems like a long time.

Right now, I only see two solutions:

- Create a separate category for BOMs and allow many people to post their blocks at the same time. That way, we would have more than two blocks each month and anybody could choose to complete as many blocks as they want. Each BOM would have its own thread, and the only requirement would be not to cross-post in other people's BOM threads, so everything is kept separate.

- Have multiple nominations each month and run the poll. Everybody would vote on the block they like the most, and at the end of the month, the winner (maybe the top two) become the official BOM(s) for the following month.

I see potential problems with both of these approaches, but those are the only ways I see that eliminate the waiting list.
