I'm another who washes all my fabrics before they arrive into my sewing room.
If it is a "theme" swap (eg. all floral fabrics or whatever is decided), that many of us might have fabrics in our stash that might be a better fit for the swap, than something we might find if we go out purposely shopping.
Perhaps the stipulation could be made that if washed, they must be well pressed and trimmed to the full size of a fat quarter (if that's the size we go with).
Plus the fat quarter size would need to be specified ..... Canadian Fat? or American Fat?
