I have so many quilts I want to do and just don't have the time to do them all. Let us know if you can refrain from joining a swap to catch up.
I buy those "scrapbook paper" plastic holders that holds the 12-1/2" paper and I can fit SEVERAL sets in there to "preserve" them. Haven't used a single one from my swaps yet.

I have used some of the 10-1/2" squares from luv's swaps, but none from mine yet...I have a plan for my Cartoony squares. I'm going to make a churn dash quilt with them as the center...some day.
