Kitsy, I think that is one of the best parts of swapping really, I have received some DQ's that are advanced then what I am and I actually look at them and write down the sizes of the blocks etc, and try in my spare time to learn to make some of the blocks that are in the DQ's I got. I have learned a lot about applique, I am a patchwork girl and really did not try to do applique and I have a gotten some excellent advice from some of the ladies that are amazing appliquer's (hope that was spelled correct) I have even asked my swap partners how they made the DQ's and I have not meet one person on here that did not give me directions on a block or advice. So learn more and more and I have not swap with you yet, but I think the ladies you have swap with might think your DQ you sent them looks great and happy to get one from you. Have a good weekend!
