Brat, Ive decided you are totally right.. I wont "practice" a new block on any swap member again for sure! I was just lucky that I had more than enough to make a 2nd block! I think you do a VERY good job at your blocks, as well as Jaba..Over the past 7 or 8 swaps Ive been in I think everyone does a fantastic job! Its amazing how people can match colors with patterns and then the "owner" makes them into a beautiful quilt! I love these swaps!
