They will be used on a wall hanging so if you wanted to use techniques you wouldn’t ordinarily use on a bed quilt go for it! Most importantly have fun.
While I do not want you to stint on the fabric you use for your boom square if you don’t think you have a use for the leftovers please return any usable fabric to me. I need to make four more of these squares and it would be helpful to have a little bit more fabric than I have and its not available online.
I will post the fabric, and an example of what the middle square and skull squares will look like and a beautiful 5 minute animation that talks about Day of the Dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCQnUuq-TEE It always makes me tear up a little but I’m a wimp.
Middle square: Instead of a wedding couple there will be three musician's in the middle. Sorry didn't get black skull square pictures yet.

So many of us up so early in the morning! Hugs to all of you whether or not you're awake yet :-).
Kassaundra, I'm hoping Janice gives you one of the two stripes. :-)
Billi -- I have to get my Mardi Gras quilt done before I get to play with the fairy quilt. As slow as I am, it may be a couple BOOMs from now before the fairies are good to go, lol.

He's beautiful. 
I'll hope he continues to surprise everyone, especially his doctors.

No worries...I thought I'd put the "no hard zippers" thing in the rules but apparently it was only in the Boom 18 sign-up thread. It'll be in future rules. I hesitate legislating anything else but those will definitely be out for the future.
