Perhaps you prefer to join your rows when they come home to you - you would state that in your correspondence.
Labels - Send along a label with your starter row for each person to sign. This can be as simple or fancy as you want.
Sashings - Does anyone in the group have objections if any of the swappers wants to send along sashing to be used to join the rows together? It may affect the cost of shipping.
Mailing the rows - What is the preference of the group - do we mail according to the dates, or do we want to mail the rows as soon as they are finished?
What are we forgetting to address?
Suggestions?
Comments?

I have no problem with rows being mailed as soon as they are finished, I won't be starting mine until mid-October since I'm finishing up a commission memory quilt for a client right now. I do plan to have it done and mailed long before the December deadline tho.
I also have no problem if people want sashing, it won't increase the cost that much for sending Priority mail, which is what I plan to do.
As far as correspondence and labels. I say "YES" and "YES". A card with preferences would be greatly appreciated! I know for mine, rows can be assembled, and I would request that each row not be all the same, since I want mine to be truely scrappy in nature.
Just my $.02 worth!
