Hi bryanne, welcome to the board. I would suggest not jumping into to many swaps, I did this and it becomes overwhelming very quickly. A really great swap to start with is the Monthly Quilting Bee Swap, it gives you a chance to learn to do different blocks in your skill level. MadeinMaine is a wonderful host and answers your questions quickly. Deb Watkins is also a great host that will answer your questions. Both ladies have helped me alot and have tons of patience. The majority of the ladies here are willing to help.
