I agree with yellow too, Kass, to keep the quilt light.

Boom Biz - shipping dates
 

Good morning! Our next arrival window for your completed blocks will be September 10th thru the due date of September 22. Those of you who haven’t yet shipped, please arrange for your blocks to arrive on or between those dates. No late blocks please! Thank you!

I like either the pink or the yellow Kass..Im not much of a "yellow" fan but it looks good with the green. I was hoping to get my Boom 20 "love/peace/hope" blocks back this coming Sunday but my quilters husband fell in the lake when feeding his fish and has a broken vertabra in his back so hes in hospital. She puts quilt in frame and he quilts them so not sure when Ill get it back. :(

Joan, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. That type of injury can have a long recovery process. And standing over a quilting machine is probably not on his physical therapy list. Wow, that’s a tough one. Feeding the fish, to flat on your back. Tough type of injury, but double trouble if that is their source of income. Will pray for them and you. Maybe you have another quilter on your list?

Oh no Joan, so sorry to hear about Les, will be praying for their family.

Made a bonus block for GramE.

Ode to My Wife the Quilter

She learned to quilt on Monday.
Her stitches all were fine.
She forgot to thaw out dinner,
so out we went to dine.

She quilted miniatures on Tuesday.
she says they are a must.
They really were quite lovely.
But she forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was a sampler.
Stipling's so much fun.
What highlights! What Shadows!
But the laundry wasn't done.

Her patches were on Thursday -
Green, yellow, blue and red.
I guess she was just too busy;
She never made the bed.

It was wall hangings on Friday,
In colors she adores.
It never seemed to bothered her -
The crumbs upon the floors.

I found a maid on Saturday.
My week is now complete.
My wife can quilt the hours away;
The house will still be neat.

Well, it's already Sunday.
I think I'm about to wilt.
I cursed, I raved, I ranted,
The MAID has learned to QUILT

oh my, Terri, that is beautiful! So cool how you incorporated the floral and the pink. I love it!

Terri, GramE's bonus block is so pretty. Well done.

LOL, Travelinggramma! Thanks for that cute poem. I'm going to read it at our next quilt meeting! :o

Terri, the block for GramE is so beautiful. That quilt is going to look like the frosting on a wedding cake! I think that's my favorite set of blocks in our Boom 21 swap.

Thank you for the reminder. I got great joy now as I reopened each bag and looked at each block and measured it again. They all are 12.5" and I forgot already that I had made some!! Will have in mail on Friday to reach you on 10th. Thanks again for another great boom.
AND I just went through the pictures - each is better than the next. And I laugh every time I look at Hav4boys with the little turtle trailing at the end!!!
