    I think I will make 2 baby quilts out of my blocks and have them ready ahead of time for a change.

    Zozee, I can take pix and post them for you.

    edited to add: I must have missed where you posted NZQuilter's block. I'll take a pic of it as well. That makes 13.

    Oh, phooey! My pictures aren't uploading to the site. Not sure why. Don't usually have issues. Anyway, the blocks are for Cheesehead and Queenbarbiej.

    Where do you guys get ideas for setting your blocks, I just keep doing it the same old way and I'd like to try something different but not to hard or time consuming.
    I found this setting on Pinterest. I thought it would look nice for a Boom swap. https://pin.it/ibsvftl4l65unz . You might try on-point setting too, or alternating with Double Irish Chain blocks.

    Jaba - have a safe trip! And stay south so you don't end up in the nasty blizzard we're going to have up here over the next several days. It might quit snowing on Friday, but it's going to take a bit to get things cleaned up afterwards.

    20" of snow and 50-60 mph winds is going to make travel impossible.

    I didn't end up taking a pic of NZ's until after I had fixed it. (It was 1/4" shy on two sides, don't ask me how, so I added fabric to make it measure right.)

    THe issue is with my phone/email process/my tech ineptitude. When I send the photo to my email , it's not giving me the option for small, med, or large size file. It just sends it! This has only been in the past week or so. I'm guessing the files are too big for the site.

    Suggestions? Is it something in my phone settings that might I might have inadvertently changed?

    with my phone, I can change this by changing Image Quality. It has Normal, Fine and Super Fine. I have it on Normal so it's the fewest pixels. It will still compress when I send them via text.

    It seems like sometimes my phone changes things when I get an update. Sure wish it would not as most of the time I have no idea where to go to put them back!

    NZ quilter, thank you for that link. What a vibrant setting for traditional blocks.

    Jaba, hope you get to WY safe and sound.

    I use my iPad to send photos so I can’t be of help.

    Also, I wanted to show you all the fabric I plan to use for the next Boom. It is to be a gift for a friend.

    Oh DS... I love that fabric! It would be so sweet for my granddaughters. Can you tell me the name of manufacturer and the name of the line (from the selvedge)? I would love to find some.
