MjpEncinitas, I am in two swaps which are very easy going and helpful. Everyone on the QB understands that we have different degrees of skills. I have been practicing quilting for over twenty years and please believe me if you got up close to this piece you would understand there is no such thing as perfect. We all work to our own best abilities. We can't let that stop us from participating. How else do we grow and learn and build confidence in what we do.
I hope you one day take the leap and join in. There are swaps that have many rules and there are the ones that I am in where anything goes. They are a fun way to build skills.
peace
