Definitely, yes, I'm interested. Are the blocks always a specific size? I'm a little dense....So, can the 16 blocks all be the same design? Where do they go once you're finished and what do you end up with? (TOLD you I was dense!
I'm am a visual person...you're making me THINK!!!!!!)

The quilt blocks are 12 1/2" and can be whatever pattern we choose. I usually try to 'mix it up' a little and make a variety of different quilt blocks. When I finish each quilt block, I mail it back to the sender. Then, she will have lots (16 in my current Boom) of blocks made from the same focus fabric. Sometimes, senders will send a few different fabrics. In the end, I will have 16 blocks made from the F8 fabric I sent to the other participants.
It's really fun. The current Boom just started in July and will finish November 1st. Keep an eye out on the QB for sign-up for the next Boom.
Yes, there is the expense of postage. In my first Boom, I was mailling not only to several people in the US, but also in Canada, the UK and Australia!! My current Boom is all US participants. Whew!
Update on your row: as I was putting the blocks together, I realized there was a 'North/South' component to your quilt and my blocks were not going the right direction!!! AAAAaaahhhhh - - - so, I had to do some 'frog' stitching and will have to do some re-arranging to make it flow the right direction. It all started with Barbaras' Mississippi River. Well, you understand. . . will be in the mail on Wednesday.

Take however much time you need. ..........just prolongs the excitement and anticipation . Will keep an eye out for the Nov. info on the next Boom!

I think I decided
I am finally happy with my tea cup and tea pot (well almost! - now that I look at the pic I need to fix the handle of the pot) and this just may be my center. This is my final free long weekend until mid Sept. as I will either be working or traveling and visiting relatives on the east coast. I really wanted to get this project ready to go out the door when we get back! What do you'all think - do you want to work with my peaceful time quilt block?

Oh Jane - Tea for all of us - that sounds good!! How different they will be! Maybe I can add a few teacups to yours!!
I think mine will be starting at 12 x 18. I am thinking that this will be for me when I want to curl up with a book and my cup of tea!
