Perfectly fine to send stash items. Some include them as part of the $20 if say, they bought them new and haven't used them. Others treat these as extra to the $20.
Thanks, Knitette! If this wasn't a newbie I don't think I'd have considered it either. But it just seems a great way to gain experience with borders, sandwiching/quilting, binding and such, with ready made blocks. If she doesn't care for the fabrics, she could make things to give away.
I am going to have to think on this. lol These are all brand new from a block swap I participated in but never got around to using in a project. I'd love to see someone "cut their quilting teeth" on them.
