Bev- you can make whatever you want!! Whoever gets it will love it! this swap being secret is a little harder to ask likes and dislikes. I would read past posts by the person to help you out or ask someone else by pm if they know anything about that person. but don't worry about it. :D Whatever you decide will be great

I'm thinking the same thing. Isn't this one supposed to be a surprise????

I think it's great to get quilts that I would never think of making myself - to me, that's part of the fun! But that doesn't mean I expect my person to go trawling through all my posts to make sure they're doing something I WOULDN'T do! :lol:

Bev.....I had already started my project before we recieved our partners name, then after reading the bio on that person I had decided to change my design-yes so wish I would have waited to start. I so wanted my gift to match my partner likes but just learned I have company coming for thanksgiving I had no clue and a few other things have suddenly come up so i think for time sake I am going to stick w/ what i started and just cross my fingers its liked...I keep reminding myself this is supposed to be fun not stressful.

I'd rather get something the "giver" likes rather than what they think I would like -- afterall, this is about getting to know each other. I can make what I like anytime -- I'd rather see someone else's perspective. That's where the fun and surprise come in. It's supposed to be fun. Believe me -- if you like it, than I will for sure. It's a gift of your time and self.

I love to be surprised . I think the quilter should make what they want to that way I get a part of them.

I have been tickled to death over each quilt that I have received... Mine are going to be hanging in my sewing room once it is all put together!!! The different styles, fabrics, colors, patterns, techniques....what great inspirations to be able to gaze at :D :D :D AND that will be the place where I spend most of my day...so I will get to enjoy them there every day 8) 8) 8)
