Try the doll quilt swaps. They are really fun. They are great to practice new techniques on. Just realize that some that you receive will not be great and some will be amazing. That's half the fun. It's like a box of chocolates - you never know what you'll get. And you may get a rotten cherry along the way... You just spit it out and try another one... right? I did start making two identical quilts, so I could send one to my swap partner, but I could also keep one.
