Bee, I'm so NOT an "outside the box" type person; that's why this little departure brings me a surprising amount of pleasure. I'll definitely do this again when I want to play.
Mirroring K's comment, what a lovely surprise gift!

Janice,
I am HAVE NOT been an outside the box person at least most of my life, however now that I am officially retired I have tendency to venture outside the box more often...and just shake the box off and go ride the wave! I am actually thinking about that concept for this Boom fabric. Lots' of patchy, colorful, playful and unusual blocks to celebrate my Mother's gardening life. The sky is the limit with this Boom.....just must be 12 1/2 Inches square -up!

Outside the box - hmmm. I live in a Fifth Wheel Trailer!! I never left the town I grew up in, never ventured far. I worked in accounting and very structured, always knowing what I would be doing at any given time.
In 2013 we left our jobs and moved in, sold the house and have been going since! We call our style - semi-retired cause we take jobs along the way. I love meeting all the people from all areas of life. I love leaving the "drama" of the small town and workplaces behind. I follow wherever the Lord leads and He hasn't disappointed yet!
I took up quilting while on the road when my hands wouldn't let me do counted cross stich any longer. I so enjoy the boom groups and learning to play with different fabric and new ideas. You all have helped me experiment with paper piecing, applique, and colors. I can still recall the first swap when someone wanted only black. I didn't even have black and couldn't grasp using only black ---- until I saw the rest of the blocks together and then WOW!
So now I try to think around the box a little bit, and although a traditionalist and still very structured in my quilting, am more than willing to sample different things!
