time for a little review and synopsis, i think. might turn out to be a bit like herding squirrels, but what the heck. LOL

i'm sensing a general preference for bumping it up to 2 blocks per month. some say both on the first. others suggest 1st and 15th.

i am still very concerned that we don't confuse and terrorize the many who are content with one. i ain't the boss o' nobody h'yar but i do feel strongly that we ought to leave the original BOM alone and think "additional" not "changed".

so how about an experiment ...

Since Country Quilter is next in line for the original (BOM #1), and seems tickled by the possibility of not having to wait until May, can we agree that she should feel free to post on the 15th of this month ... in a separate thread (BOM #2) that makes clear we aren't trying to press any unwilling players into the additional game?

since Ruth says she prefers to just watch and not pick, Norah would be next in line for the 1st of May for BOM #1. (assuming we haven't given her a nervous breakdown by then. LOL)

that gives us another month from now to think and haggle details without overstressing any who want to stick to one per month.

i think.

(yes, Admin, please do give us a fainting Emoticon. i feel a real swoon comin' on. LOL)
:mrgreen: :shock: :? :lol:

That sounds good to me. I'm all for it.

thats sounds good to me sort of like having 2 seperat BOM.

then post pics to aproprriate thread BOM1 or BOM2

soooooo now we are up to 3 blocks a month?

I agree. Two blocks. Separate threads. 1st or 15th is all good., Glitter maybe. Pop-cycle-sticks, I'm trying to visualize. Orange rinds, I think not! But I DO really want more EMOTICONS! PPPPPPlease....!

Sounds good to me. I'll be ready, if it's a go.

not sure, to tell you the truth. i know we have BOM#1, posting only once per month, on the 1st

the [experiment] for BOM#2 starts on the 15th of Apr with Country Quilter's post.

Norah posts to BOM#1 on the 1st of May. Whether we post again to BOM#2 on the 1st or wait until 15 May remains to be discussed.

i think.

:shock: :mrgreen:

OK I'm still in

I don't think the 1st or 15th is all that important. If both are posted on the 1st then they are available anytime one is ready and also they will still be there on the 15th.; Right?! We all know the important Point is weather or not we are having fun, feeling inspired and learning new stuff. Misty's BOM idea turned out to be quite an attention getter. We obviously all loved it! So now the Question is? How much more of a good thing can we handle? It's just simply a matter of kicking the speed up on the frequency of new Block's. At this point I believe the major Q to ask is if the person next in line is ready to post? Since it is sooner than the block would have originally been due to post. Maybe we should ask her what she would prefer. We wouldn't want to inadvertently stress anybody out, would we? :? :roll:

Well, when I posted my thoughts, I stated the 1st and the 15th as I figured it would be something to look forward to twice a month instead of just once... its not up to me..... and whoever it is that makes this decision, just let me know...I am ready to post on the 15th if thats what you want me to do. Makes no nevermind to me or nothing!!! :)
