Boomerang Friendship Swap 10.0 Signups now CLOSED :)
#281
Good evening all! I'm fairly new to the board. I have sent an email to join a small, fast group if space is available. I'm looking forward to Boom 10 and getting the opportunity to get to know you all a bit and make blocks for you and receive some in return. I'll just wait to get a confirmation before I start picking fabric - although I think I know exactly what I want to use already. Fingers are crossed there's still space!

Please don't drop out. I am completely happy to use your fabric to make a block for you.

Welcome to all of you newbies - I was there two swaps ago - so nervous about making the perfect block for everyone. And then I realized how much fun it is to play with a piece of fabric and only have to do one block and you can experiment with fabrics and colors and patterns - and oh my, how much time you spend on quilterscache.com and all the other free block pattern sites. whew - and you get to make friends and look forward to checking the forum every day cause you might miss something.....
I have yet to get a "bad" block from both of the swaps - even a basic 9 patch works with all the other blocks!

I am Free!!!
Today was my last day as president of our local Quilt Guild. A couple of days ago, I completed the customer quilt I had on my long arm machine. I feel like I am free!!!! Lets get this swap going.......I'd sure hate to wake up some morning with nothing to do! lol

One question and I promise I'll stop asking so many questions. How are you mailing out the F8 and then the finished blocks? This may help other beginners not just me.
From previous experience, I found the most economical I can ship one block is in a legal size letter envelope and pay the additional postage. If I put it in a manila envelope, it's a $1.00 more due to beginning size of the manila envelope. That's using a 5x7 manila envelope.

I wanted to send a solid green and ask for Christmas prints, but after reading the post it sounds like most have solids in their stash, not prints. Would it be better for me to send out a print instead?
