Numbers 4, 5 and 6 are equally good.
It's important that ALL guidelines are followed by ALL who participate for the swap to be a success. It's one thing to send out something that is to the best of your skill level and "best" fabric when that's all you have and you are happy to share as opposed to someone (it's never happened----right?) who just wants to be picky and show off the superiority of their skills and fabric at the expense of another quilter. Nor would it be appropriate for one to join to get "better" blocks with the attitude of "I may not be able to afford it but So-and-So can, so I'll take their blocks."
Just thoughts and totally fictional references.
