Janice, just want to take a minute to say how much we appreciate all the work you do keeping the gallery. It's really a blessing to be able to see all the blocks that way. We can avoid duplicates, and also plan to add in whatever we need to round out the quilt (if anything). I know it's a lot of work for you and just wanted to say thank you! Having the gallery is really great.

Reminder: the mailing window is closing. Anyone wishing to get their blocks out early, please make sure they arrive by Friday. I will open another mailing window shortly before Opal blocks are due on the 22 of October. Thanks.

Yours is in the original bag! Your bags are different. Whew! And I knew I had put them somewhere, just couldn't find that brain Cell! :shock: :thumbdown:

But this morning I said, now I had a system, I just have to remember what it was. And I found them! The first few fabrics I took out of their bags I put all those in one bag & put them in (oops I forgot about) my boom box. Them I started a second boom box & forgot about the first one! Just glad I found it because it had Billi's red fabric in it!

They are are in the mailing envelope, money in the envelope, just waiting to make sure there is nothing else to go in the envelope before I seal it & put it in the mail box! Looking at it for two more weeks would have been torture. I fluffed up Topaz fat eighths today & told them I'd be back soon. Need to restore order before I start again!

I loved all the fabrics & I hope my input helps make all your quilts the best. Thank you for trusting me.

This is why i signed up for Boom 17. This is what all the precious souls made for me in Boom 16 GroupTherapy! I fussed & fidgeted with how to arrange them, then they got mixed up when I took it down to take a trip to my daughter's house, then when I took them down to sew the first sashing on, they got twisted again & today when sewing the spacers & the sashing I reversed two rows! And now as I look at it as a whole, it couldn't be more beautiful!

Thank you you all for a wonderful time. And magnificent results! :thumbup: :thumbup:
