    The "rules" are one block per trade. Some people like to do two blocks for their partner, however it is certainly not required. I think it was MadeinMaine that said that if you want to do 2 blocks, it's a good idea to let your partner know. I have been given 2 blocks by one or two of my partners and I'm always thrilled!! But I also feel a little guilty because I made one.

    Some swappers also like to send some extra fabric or a giftie along with their block, which is very sweet and such a nice surprise! But again, the only thing written out is that we swap one block.

    Wow, funny, we have two turtles swapping. Sorry, it just hit my funny bone.

    Welcome QuiltQtrs, you'll love this swap, the people are so friendly, and very helpful. They are also very supportive. This will be my 4th swap, and I love it.
