@RJR_38   if you get stuck just shout. I'm sure either myself or Jen will be able to help.
If life gives you lemons, add to gin and tonic !

I’m not sure what you mean but I appreciate the offer of help  :)

Ooh yes I see! Sorry I was being a bit dense :) My school girl French is quite rusty so it could have been needed… luckily it is a dual language text with each page printed half in French and half in English. I had a look and this seems to be the way they were all done. Very odd considering she is in Australian designer but hey ho!

@BrendaP @Efemera @whofilets @Catllar @fajita @Pearl

Start stalking the postman - you should all have incoming deliveries! All BOOM blocks were sent back today. If people sent back your bags or leftovers of your fabric I also included this for you.

Thank you to everyone for my blocks - I love them and will enjoy putting them together and will make a sofa lap quilt I think :)

My BOOM blocks have arrived, safely. THANKYOU.

I’ll lay them out (after a vacuum of the carpet) and see how they look together.

Thanks @RJR_38

My blocks have arrived :dance: :dance:

There are ten of them, I was expecting nine!  Either I make two more or will have to use on the back :thinking:

I got nine.

@BrendaP I’d lay them out first and see if they need an extra row. I do like the idea of a single back square, though.

Here’s a pic of mine.

Which do you like best in the centre?
