Does anyone ever do one like this with fat Qtrs? I enjoyed the one I did but I did NOT like working with Fat 8's, no room for error lol

Short and Sweet, it's sounds ok to me, I'll go along with whatever the group wants. Would that be 4 yards of fabric for sending? Or would I have to buy 4 1/2 to get enough FQs for 12 in the group, but there is 13? I'm confused, do I count myself or not? :-)

urgodschild2, Have a safe trip!!!! Kiss your family lots while you are there! :-)

Actually the F8 if it is cut 11 X 22 should be big enough for any of the patterns but you can send Fquarters too. Right now there is 11 people. That is counting yourself. We need one more person. If we don't get the 12 person then each of us would have to make two of our own so we will have to wait and then go with what the majority wants. I am ok with sending larger pieces of material. My next message will be from Australia. When I arrive the temps will 105. Oh my, I will pick up the kids from Bizi-i-kids and go home and drink lots of water. In fact the rest of the week looks like over 100 temps. Good grief.....They are having the opposite of the USA.......heat. Unusually hot.

105!!! Farenheit? Bah! Step out of the plane into instant oven... Please take care not to get heat stroke. My daughter-in-law was recently hospitalized for heat stroke/dehydration. She said it was no fun.

11 x 22 sounds good to me-- with my block pattern I think it will give room for cutting it a couple of times, but I'm a measure twice, cut once kind of person. I'm fine with going ahead with who we have and making 2 blocks myself. I've been so looking forward to it, I don't want to quit before we've tried it! :-) But there's another 2 weeks to wait, so maybe someone else will join too.

Hope you still have a vacancy I just sent you a PM I am interesting in filling your last spot when I get you confirm that I'm in will start looking for pattern and material.

pbadder, urgodschild2 is the leader and she's going to Australia... she'll get back with you after the flight, I guess. :-)

Just heard from urgodschild2 and I am in now looking for material. Block I chose is www.quilterscache.com/A/AnniesChoiceBlock.html Please give input if this block is okay with everyone, otherwise I will look for a different one. Thanks looking forward to this one.

I think that design is great. I actually used it as an example in a project I presented in 2011 at a mathematics conference. The project/talk was about how you can take a simple design (HST) and create exponential # of designs with it depending on your grid (3x3, 4x4, 5x5, etc) and the importance of translation, rotation, and reflection in quilting. It's one of my favorite designs to work with now.

Barb,

I am currently participating in Boom 11 as a first time member of the Slow and Easy Group. I signed up for that group to make sure I was giving myself time to complete my 16 blocks. All my blocks are due back to everyone in May. I am have completed 8 blocks already. I like the idea of getting a pattern to go with the fabric as part of the instructions to come with the fabric. It seems all others aspects of this Swap are the same. I like the decision to keep it to 12 participants. When is deadline for submitting F8,s ?. I would like to do this.

Thank you for taking this on!
Bee

I like it !! :)
