CMARAS1234 That sounds like a fun swap. How ever did we manage before the internet groups to do a swap? Yet, we did! My sons wrote to a quilt magazine for a worldwide swap. Anyone sent you 6" squares in any amount and you had to return the same number of 6" squares from your stash. They each got squares from every US state and from around the world. I made them each a quilt which they still use and treasure today. All without the internet - amazing what quilters can do when fabric is involved!

I really enjoy putting mismatched size orphan blocks together. I recently made one for my employer a fellow quilter for her retirement quilt. Her hubby snuck out the box of orphans for me so she had no idea. I had a swell time making her a queen sized quilt and still had half a box of blocks left!
