oldcatlady said it beautifully..........I think certain prints or styles are more popular in certain areas and the manufacturer's take that into account so even if it's the same company the fabrics would/might be different. That's what I was thinking when I first saw the swap. When I went to a quilt shop in the west there were TONS of southwest fabric that I don't see in my area. I bet the same is true for the new england area when it comes to the ocean/beach prints. I could not find any here. So I think just sending in material you find locally is great and if it has to do with whatever is popular in your neck of the woods that's even better. Just have FUN!

Does that help???

Blessings!

Also - just to step outside of the box is nice. I like particular fabric and buy mostly that type of fabric- but to recieve something completley different will be such fun...you know?

I'd be interested & I'm in London. However, I have a question about postage: if I send a stamped self-addressed envelope, I don't think it will be valid in the US postal system. Anyone got any ideas?
