    Thank you I am quite pleased with how it came out soooooo not what I envisioned but the chocolate brown I was originally going to use to set it together just didn't work. It was too dark and sad looking. Over all I would say that the blocks and different fabrics play well together I think the sheer quantity of them helps with that I used every single block I received and made a few more of my own too. looking at the pictures I realize you can't see all the blocks or the full border so if I ever get a pictures of it being held up I'll share that too and the back I used some of my scraps and practice stuff to make the back. I wish you could see my "white" better it's actually cream/off white with white dandelions that I think pulled it all together.

    Libster, Yes the flowers are appliquéd

    I am so pleased to have a boom quilt finished and happy to have so many talented quilters work in it.

    I think you were right about the brown being too dark. The white just lets the colors pop. I LOVE the border you put on it..VERY pretty quilt Billi!!

    Just an fyi, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, let me know BEFORE you ship that you are ready. I like to make pick up arrangements in the event I'm not available. Unfortunately, the person who used to pick up my mail has become suddenly forgetful so if I have to find another responsible somebody who can do it for me and that person remains elusive. So please, pm or email me that you are ready to ship. Thanks!

    I like the primitive stitches style. What a sweet label.

    No worries! I may not have been clear on this so it's my goof. As I am loath to advertise when I will be away from home, i really rely on advance notice of shipping. Perhaps it may be time for me to rethink this mailing thing for the next boom. Now that "my person" cannot be trusted (she left THREE packages of your completed blocks in my mailbox for two days after I specifically said they were coming and she said it would be no problem to hold them for me) I'm trying to figure new arrangements. Maybe I'll have to establish a mailing window; I don't know but I'll figure it out.

    In in any case, everyone just let me know before you ship! Thanks!
