greenini we already have on the template list what are the favorite/least favorite colors, fave/least fave fabrics. and i do not send anything in colors someone expressed they do not like, but with a $10.00 budget are we expected to color/pattern tailor all of our gifts? i was expressing my opinion and i realize that it is just that, my opinion.
for example the scrappy potholders that i made (for the may swap) may not match anyone's kitchen/dining room decor but they were not made with color matching in mind. i made them as i stated "a commemorative gift" to share in my postage stamp quilt quest. after that statement was posted, i paused to wonder if i should include them in a swap package at all for fear that they will not match the receiver's sensibilities or decorum. after some thought on it, my decision now is that i will just offer them as a rak gift so only those who express a desire to have them, will have the opportunity to receive them. the quandry for me is now resolved.
i do realize that my design sensibilities (fabric, color or design choices/combo) are not to everyone's taste which is why i let my swap partners know that i wont mind if they want to regift anything that i have sent them. my opinion again.
p.s. we do not need to have an extended board debate over what i have said. these are just my opinions and i am quite capable of working out my own conundrums.
