Thanks LogCabin! I was wondering how to do that, too. Beautiful hexagons you have posted! So glad to see you in here!
Marcialee, your fabric plays really well with a number of the ones I am sending out. My granddaughter calls it jungle-colored.
Terriamn, I am going to have to try to make that star. Your color choices are lovely!
Pokeweed -- no pressure at all being the first male in the group! You sound like a crafter so you're going to fit right in.
I am busy cutting my fabrics. My padded envelopes FINALLY arrived from the USPS. I got the unpaid variety so a trip to the post office is in my near future.
Sewbizgirl -- do you have any stamp collectors in the fam? If so, I will try to get the high valued stamp to put on the envelope. Those are hard to come by and the post office here had them last week (I was very excited about it as I don't like using ticker tape on the packages I send out. Stamps are much prettier). Let me know.

I’d like to have a new quilt for Spring or perhaps give to my mom, since she likes elephants.

Pretty fabric, Cheesehead!
Here’s my second block from my own fabric. I’ll probably make one more for now. I’m itching to get my hands on all those lovely F8s. Been going through websites and books, reacquainting myself with 12 inch blocks. It was a trip through Boom memory lane! Which reminds me, I’m going to open up all the past boom galleries soon so you all can look through them if you like. The link, as always, is in my signature.
Well, it’s supposed to rain here most of the weekend so I guess I’ll be stitching more of my quilt top together but honestly, my mind keeps going to this boom. Better get it done before the F8s arrive.

Out first package of fabric arrived today!!! Ding ding ding Janice McC!!
More are expected to arrive tomorrow, according to tracking info. All fabric is due in my hands by the 20th!
Thanks for those detailed posting instructions, Logcabin! I'll see if I can follow them.
polkweed, glad to see your cool fabrics. Be sure to include that note that tells us what colors you want used with these.
Ibex, no, no one collects stamps that I know. Only fabric, LOL. I would be happy to save them for whoever wants them, tho. You, maybe?
Pretty floral fabric, Cheese... can't wait to see it in person.
Love your second block, Janice. Soon we'll all be making them!

Cheesehead, love your fabric.
Janice I agree your pansy fabric is making for some beautiful blocks.
We had a beautiful rain yesterday that was so needed. I spent the day in my sewing room working on a few projects that I hope to finish up before the boom fabrics arrive.
My prepaid padded envelopes arrived yesterday, the plan is to mail my package to you on Monday Sewbiz
Going to be a rough day for me, driving into the city today for a friend’s funeral
