Uh, oh...here we go with the pix. I love seeing them!!! Beautiful, boomers!
And I know everyone has heard me say it but I'm going to keep it up this round: Target block size is 12 1/2 inches square! I hope this Boom will produce the most blocks right at the goal so please measure as you go AND before you package your finished blocks.

Great looking blocks, Mona and jlt... Jaba's fabric is so vibrant!
I actually made 6 blocks today for my local group. Ibex, I don't want to post their pics here because Janice might get mixed up and post them in our gallery. Maybe I'll put them in my profile album so you can see them. I think they are pretty.

I love the leftovers, I cut them into 2 1/2 inch blocks and add them to the collection I already have. I hope one day to make a scrappy quilt out of them.
BUT, if you wish to have your leftovers back, just let me know. I will gladly send them back.

Not sure why I decided to work with snowballs today, it has nothing to do with being sad that all the snow outside is melting that is for sure!!

It is pouring rain out.

Wonderful blocks everyone! I am so-o envious that y'all have fabric to play with! 
My package will probably be waiting for me on Tuesday.
Everyone, please stay safe as this nasty weather rolls thru.

Loving the blocks so far! Can't wait to play with mine... PO says they will arrive tomorrow. Hooray! In the mean time, my local quilting group met yesterday and we did a fabric swap for a friendship sampler. This is basically the same thing as our Boom quilts here on the board. I got carried away and spent yesterday afternoon and until late in the night making SEVEN of the blocks! If you care to see, I made an album just for those in my profile.

I even tried a Drunkard's Path... my first! It wasn't so bad going together once I ditched the pins. I love that block.
LJDugas, have a great trip and great visit with your family.
