Got a few more done. Sewing is so much more enjoyable when the heat finally breaks. Does anyone else find they sew more in the fall?

The following is a portion of a post made on Dunes a few minutes ago. In the event you don't follow that board, here's the info for you as well. Thanks!
****
So here's the topic I'd hoped I would never have to discuss. What if a person honestly and truly cannot finish on time, regardless of the reason? If you absolutely cannot make all of your blocks, those f8s, whether uncut or cut must be returned to me on time. That means if a swapper has cut up the f8 and not stitched it, the entire f8 should be sent to me, even if it's in 40 pieces. I'm not of the opinion that extending the swap for any one person is acceptable, particularly since this swap is 3 months. Obviously, injuries and illnesses happen. My goal is not penalize anyone as nobody starts a swap like this with the intention of not finishing but neither do I wish to inconvenience 20+ people for one, myself included. Extending a swap beyond my established dates does not work for me. If I allow it once, it will be expected in the future and I'm not going there. Therefore, if anyone in the swap is in the situation of not being able to finish, please contact me sooner, rather than later, to discuss this privately.
Also, in the event that a person does not return any blocks or f8s for whatever reason, I am comfortable returning the blocks made for that person to the maker. This has already been requested by a number of Boomers already in case this comes to pass in this round. I believe it to be the most equitable, and yet still unhappy, solution.
Anyone wishing to share their differing or concurring opinions, please contact me privately. PM or email will work. I don't want hurt feelings on here and this stuff has that potential. Thanks.
