That's right !! (what Ube said) Just make something nice that you would like and use yourself. We are not in a contest. (Thank God) Enjoy what you get and what you send.

Thank you both Ube & Lawsonmugs for the reassurance and I'll re-consider; but I do still have plenty of time to make a second one just in case :-)

Ekuw do as you want just don't feel pressured . This is all for fun and maybe trying something new. End of sermon....lol

I've had pep talks from this great bunch too! It has given me the courage to try new things, practice the stuff I dread doing etc. etc.! lol No judgement! I try to choose colours and patterns that I would like on my own table, and then my fingers are crossed when I mail it out! All different skill levels participate but it's great to receive a runner in the mail that is a complete surprise and done as a special effort for this swap! Get sewing & enjoy! I'm excited to see what you are working on!

wonderful fruit salad m-fay. So what do you think of the pineapple block? Time consuming but well worth it, I'd say!
