So it saved me lots of money swapping vs. going to the store to buy fabric and white tone-on-tone and for 12 different blocks! Well worth the postage and time for me.

Also, since I already had 12 different blocks already made, when I receive my swap blocks I'll have 24 different blocks and only need to make a few more to make a lap quilt. That's time and money saved! and I have a beautiful quilt made with love by some of the very best and generous quilter friends I could ask for!

How's that for justification!?
