a rule like that would be forbidden in a swap on this board. we encourage inclusiveness. a swap designed to leave out or embarrass members who can't afford quilt shop prices has no place here.
the same goes for skill level. i find it hard to believe that a quilter would deliberately send her worst-made blocks just to get rid of them. which means that every swapper is sending the best work they can do with the nicest fabric they can afford.
anybody who cannot appreciate the effort and intent should not swap here.
period.
