Just a note to our newbies...blocks you make for the Boom should be blocks you are generally comfortable with making. I would advise against starting a paper pieced block if you've never paper pieced, or applique if you haven't practiced it or even a block with several dozen pieces if you are used to working only with more basic, classic blocks. Please be true to yourself and your skills. I'm not saying don't try something new...please do...but don't make your first attempt at a new skill using someone else's fabric. Over three years experience with this swap has proven this can go wrong in many ways. Make what you are comfortable making, especially for your first round. You'll see we are all different skill levels so please do not look at this as a competition or feel a need to keep up with the Jones's.
