One thing about the doll quilt swaps, you can use any fabric you want, prewash or not, embelish, don't embelish, the sky is the limit as to pattern, design, ideas, and any skill level is welcome, and it is a good way to get your feet wet :wink: I love all of my little quilts :D:D:D
Most of the block swaps specify a good quality fabric, but these can be found at JoAnn's, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc... and everyone acknowledges there will be different skill levels :wink: I prewash, but starch the fabric so it is easier for me to work with :D I have loved all of my blocks that I have received :D:D:D
I will continue to join the swaps posted here. Everyone is very encouraging, it is fun and exciting chatting about them while making, sending and receiving them :D:D:D
