I like the idea of making different blocks for each of the participants.
I am so afraid that I will be black-balled if I cannot complete the swap correctly. Is there a small group, maybe of just 4 members, where I could start on this before I jusp right into a 12 or 15-member swap?

Diane something you might want to do is just ask a few people to do that with you. Small #'s might be easier on some of us that have a lot going on. ;) I would be more than happy to do this with you if you are looking for someone. Just let me know. :thumbup: If not that's ok too. Have you signed up for the monthly block swap yet? You might want to look into that too. You just make a block for one person each month and they make one for you.

This swap is currently coming to a close but the Boomerang swaps run with a 4 month Turn Around time so you have plenty of time to make the blocks and send your F8s.
We would love to see you join in with us!

As is the norm, April rises to the occasion!! :thumbup:

Both with your efforts to please everyone - the smaller swap along with the larger one - as well as your response to the naysayers & whiners. You are spot on with what you said & I'm only very sorry that while you were away we didn't all play nice.

BTW - Hope you are doing much better! I haven't been around much lately - how has the start of school gone for Izzy??

LYG!! :) :)

Hey, I'm having a great time! It's my first swap and I've just sent out my last 3 grown-ups: LauraEllen, Nurse Bonnie and Angie S. The address stickers I made for all of you are gone so I must be done!

I thoroughly enjoyed this even though a broken wrist kept me from sewing for 6 weeks. If I get all 36 blocks - great! If I get fewer than that - great! I wish all of you the best and thank you for your time and effort on behalf of the quilt that will grace our king-sized bed this winter.

Can't wait for the next boomerang!

Thank you. I got my block today! LOVE IT! I will have to use this pattern some time!! :) My camera card is messed up. If you have taken a picture could you post it? I will try to get a new one on Friday. Have to take several pictures to catch up and show off.

KPatrick-Got your block today too. I love the fabric! Looks like real wood. Funny, yours and Materialgrl's look very similar. ;) Loved them both.

Didn't get to send out all the blocks just yet. Going to have to get them all packaged and haven't been able to. Hopefully in the next couple days. I know my time is dwindling down. Going to get them all sent.
