Of course this one would be good. Lets you have the freedom to make blocks at your level and pace. The other one that is good to start with, which I like and still do, is the DQ swap. I find it pleasant to swap and there is good accountability in that swap. I have been on the board for less than a year, and find that the block swaps are good because you get back different blocks but the same quantity that you sent. Sometimes your own, but you receive same as sent. You should try this one or even do the Valentine Swap that is up as well. I know that mariposa is a good hostess. I have done a few with her as the hostess and had fun.
