Funny you should ask about our oldest fabrics. I still have pieces from my very first official quilt from about 2000. I ran across it the other day and laughed at myself. Should use that one up.

I could have easily added my dark green or white as a border to make the bonus block meet the swap's 12.5 rule but it looked too dark to me when I tested it. She may prefer a white or red border to fit her vision. Anyway, I included plenty of the green if she wants to use it. I will try to be more explicit in later posts. Again, I apologize for any confusion.
On another note, the Christmas green that I used was printed in 2008 according to the selvage. It surely isn't my oldest fabric. Can you tell what you have in your stash?
Have a great day, everyone 😀 😊
