Boomerang Swap 16 - Sign-Ups Open
#251
I washed, ironed and cut 16 white fat 8s for the white, grey and orange blocks.
I finally decided what to do for the other swap. I am washing a 2 yard piece of solid very dark blue, almost black. I hope you will be able to add lots of happy tone on tone or solid brights, Amish feel, to this dark fabric. Please no pink, white and other black. Kind of this feel. The picture is of a quilt I made with swap blocks several years ago. If you have any of this dark black/blue fabric left could you be so kind to send it back along with your block since I am very limited in how much I have? This way I could hopefully make a couple more blocks. Thank you!

Beautiful quilt. I started cutting yesterday also, only got 6 pieces of my floral print, but put a little strip of it in other bags so you can see what colors are in it.
I'm looking for either star blocks or log cabin blocks.

Be sure to include your color requests in each bag of fabric and mention you'd like the leftovers returned.

Reminders
Just a reminder that I will close sign-ups on 2/29. The 3 month group is approaching capacity at 16 members. I will take four more there. The two month group stands at 9. If we don't get many more sign-ups, there are options available including doubling up and making two blocks each, having just a few swappers double up, or keeping the group small. All have been done. It's still a bit early so let's see what the next few days bring.
Also, please understand that anyone with a track record of lateness or poor performance in swaps may not be accepted into this group. We all work very hard at getting our blocks made and delivered on time so I won't knowingly bring in a person who has repeatedly disregarded swap rules as concerns delivery times. Due to our shipping method, one person has the ability to hold up the entire group. It's simply not fair to the group.
Thanks for understanding.

All rightee. While thunderstorms begin to roll through the south, I'm getting my ducks in a row for Boom 16. In this case, the ducks are your fabric photos. I believe I've got all of those that were posted as "definite" choices in the gallery. (Boomerangswaps.weebly.com) Please go take a look and see if I've put yours in with the correct name attached. If you have other fabrics you plan to use and want me to add them, post them here and I'll grab them. (Remember to keep your photos to 200 kb or smaller so these pages don't bog down. Sometimes we get a bit picture heavy.) If you aren't ready yet with pix, no worries, it's still early. Sign-ups haven't even ended yet. Just trying to stay ahead.
One week from today, sign-ups close and the fun will start..Thank you to everyone who has joined the group. (I'm still trying to decide myself but it keeps getting harder and harder not to grab that 10th spot in the 2 month group. :/ ) Have a wonderful day!

OK I will try and take some pictures today of the fabric I am using.

Janice I will try and get downstairs a bit later and take a picture of fabric for second swap. I was naughty and sewed without my boot today. Paying the price now. Anyone else working on the Splendid Sampler. Block 3 was a very humbling expierence. 42 pieces in a 6.5" block. Glad I have some hair left.
