Good morning, Boomers!
The three month group is filled! We have 20 participants. The 2 month group has 5 people so we could use a few more there and as Libster suggested, we could "double up" and get a nice number of blocks apiece, We could even "triple up" but that would mean each of you would be doing 3 blocks with the same fabric. Should we not get the numbers, I'll leave the choice of what to do with the group. I'll go with the flow.
I'll post the list of everyone in the 2 groups this weekend. Remember, I will start a waiting list for anyone who really wants to get into the 3 month group in the event of a last minute drop. It happens periodically so don't hesitate to let me know.
I'm off to work on the Gallery this morning while it's quiet. The dogs have been walked and DH is off for a few hours so now's a great time to get organized. Also, I'll open up most of the old swap pix for a few days in case anyone is interested. The Gallery link is below.
Later, Boomers!

If the numbers stay low for the two month group (10 or below) I would join the group if I don’t have to do more than 10 blocks. This would let me stick my toe in the water instead of jumping in head first for doing both groups.
Ive always want to do the second group but I’m slow. Those applique blocks take a long time and I’m not a quick piecer either.
. Since I’m off work, this is the perfect time to try.

This would work. You can always do just one set instead of doubling up. We've had swappers do this before so who were concerned about having to do overwhelming numbers of blocks. I'll put you in tentatively for the group.
I've just updated the gallery with the fabrics that have been posted so far. And I've opened up the last 10 Boom swap pictures. Enjoy. Now I'm off to add the recently completed quilts to the Gallery as well.
