I LOVE the block swaps!!!! My most cherished quilts are from the swaps. I am not real concerned with the quality of fabric or even workmanship. What thrills me is the fact that I end up with a wonderful quilt made with blocks from wonderful people all over the world!!! These quilts wont get any wear and tear on them because they are treasures that I will cherish the rest of my life. I just wish I had more time to get in more swaps!!!!! :-D
