This post has made me very sad and leery of participating in another swap. I am in the block swap to be mailed 1/15/09 and just have 2 blocks left and each is 1/2 done. The fabric I have used I consider good quality, but will others? My greatest concern is that the blocks are made well enough. A lot of the blocks were new to me and I did the best I could and I did learn things that I thought I could not do. Being a newbie made me doubt myself, but I did try!!!
BTW - my house is smoke free!! And I am lucky in that my dog does not shed!
