That is actually one of the reasons why I did join. It keeps me on my feet.
Another reason why I did join (which I know is not the original question) was that it gives me a chance to try new patterns and new colors. The swap forces me out of my comfort zone for a few minutes.
I use the swap to try out new blocks and I can decide whether I want to make them into a quilt or not. If yes, I have a chance to work out some of the kinks. I no, then I can send the block off with a happy heart, and I am not committed to ever doing it again.
My interest is more in the block swap - not fabric swap.
