Another note to new swappers - Kassaundra's Dresden are a perfect example of how the same block pattern and the same fabric (her red) combined with the focus fabric make great blocks for different swappers. If you are only comfortable doing just one type of block, even if it's just a 9 patch, a well-made 12 1/2" square is appreciated. Especially if it is a fussy-cut 9 patch.

Look through the gallery at some past BOOM swaps to see some of the other examples. And I am going to have to think another day or so before I start cutting into these fabric jewels.
