We all like to use from our stash if we can sustraley but sometimes that doesn't happen. mom-6 from what I can tell on my monitor the first one is a tie-dye fabric, I have seen it sold in Walmart, 2nd one is a batik and the 3rd was also sold in Walmart's and Hobby Lobby as batik like fabric. There really is a huge difference. And yes I have gotten items back that were not the guidelines of the swap but they have been in a swap that was sent to and from each individual and not to the hostess to sort (table runners and wall hangings as an example) . I have been on the sorting side also and did not open the packages until it was time to sort, it's too easy to lose items with open packages from several people. That sorting is a tough job for anyone to do and try to give everyone a good variety. I'm sorry about your blocks but hope you will do other swaps with all of us.
I haven't received mine yet but looking forward to them arriving. Will post for sure when they do.
