It cant be said too much; everyone might be at different levels of experience, but that just adds to the fun. I cannot believe how i have grown as a quilter since joining this group. And i believe that to be true for most of us. When i get a quilt in the mail, it is the thought and effort i see, not the workmanship. As long as the gifter has tried their best, i am happy. I am always happy to trade with a new quilter, old quilter, any quilter! Have fun and be happy.
