Just One More Stitch: It's Boomerang time again!

I joined the Boomerang swap again on the Quilter's Board. This is a swap where I send out 38 fat eighths to different people, and they use my fabric and their stash to make me a 12" block. In addition, I receive 38 different fat eighths, and use my stash to make them blocks. For several reasons I enjoy this swap - first, I love to make blocks - and get to make my favorites - usually stars. It depends on what fabric they have sent and what I have to go with it. It also depends on whether or not they have a special request (such as "no white," or "no batiks," etc.) I try to feature their fabric in some way, so if they've sent a focus fabric or a solid or blender, each block is selected especially for the fabric. Another reason I love this is I often end up with some of their fabric that I get to use in something of my own. Sometimes I find a swatch of fabric sent to me that I have to have more of - as happened this weekend. One of the gals is going to GIVE me a yard of the fabric - and I'll be sending her something in return.

We just started Boomerang 7.0, and I received four fat eighths yesterday. I think I'm leaning towards stars these days!
