I just re-read part of the rules -
"5. When an activity includes swapping fabrics, they should be washed, dried and ironed and cut as precisely as your skills allow. Oranizers should not require they be starched or otherwise treated unless it's essential to success in the type of project involved. Those of us who don't normally prewash should make exceptions when joining in group activities. It's a courtesy to others who may have allergies or other health needs requiring smoke and animal free environments/supplies."
Guess I interpreted it as - one should wash the fabrics -
oops - I've participated in swaps and I have cats. Sorry if this caused a problem for anyone.
It seems like many of you are willing 'to do what it takes' to make a block work as far as redoing.
It does make an exchange a lot more fun when everyone follows the guidelines and all the blocks play more or nicely together. Then one can get right to putting them together.
(I have learned something from almost every block I've received, though.)
