My opinion on a rating system for whatever it is worth is this:
Everyone's opinion here of "quality" fabric or "quality" work may be different and sometimes is even based on economical factors. Everybody started somewhere and has learned along the way what good workmanship and good quality fabric was with help and guidance from others. I feel if we institute a feedback system someone who is new to the quilting world may become discouraged if they send a block that isn't up to someone else's standards and that would be hurtful.
The best way to help people grow is to explain to them why something could be better not rate them on it.
This is just my two cents...

I agree and I also think it may discourage people who can't afford to shop at an LQS from participating in a swap because their fabric isn't of the same quality as some. I know we all try to make sure we use the best we can afford but we are all in differetn places. I think the idea is a good one, maybe we could just keep it to the sales portion.
Yeah. If it was just kept to the sales, that would be better... I just don't like the idea of someone not appreciating what as received in a swap, and posting negatively over it.
