Marcialee -- yay for christmas quilts!
Kristijoy -- what do you want as your end theme on those three fabrics? I need to put on my thinking cap.
Travelinggramma - those are great ideas for the President's Day quilt! Regular old patterns work for this fabric, too, cause it makes the block look scrappy. The 12" winding way pattern is driving me crazy. My printer only prints 11 x 8.5" paper. The patterns are 12" on the smallest side. I'm going to have to fiddle. I may even have to buy the editable version of Adobe so I can flip the pattern around for half a page at a time. I could also shrink the pattern and then add a border all around to make the block 12.5".
Have4boys - can't wait to see your magic! I also can't wait to see your fabrics.
Happy Sunday everyone! Especially to the BOOM newbies! You're going to love this group of creative quilters.

Hi Quilting Friends!
For this quilt think cheerful! Pair this fabric with coordinating brights like solids, blenders, or tonals and a white background.
Have fun! Joy,
Kristi

Does that help? Or should I come up with more descriptive words?

Good morning, Boomers. I'm delayed writing the email. I lost most of yesterday to miserable hay fever but it's much better this morning so I should send it out in the next hour or so. Remember to read it and hit reply so I know you've received it and I've properly added your email addresses to Outlook. Thank you!
Also, since this is Boom 26, and there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, I'm going with Zinnias as the group name. Z for the 26th letter. Later, Zinnias!

Me, again. The email went out and I've gotten no bounce backs so I hope all emails will be received. If not, please check your spam folder first to make sure it didn't end up there, then let me know.
We've got rain today so I plan to retreat to my quilting room and make more of my BH Carolina Chain blocks. I just started and heaven knows it will take me a decade to finish them. LOL. Have a great week!
