I don't need my own blocks, because I already have one of each -- I made seven of each and sent the best six to the swap.

I bought fat quarters, then I realized I could make just 6 for the set with them. So I went and bought more of the same fabric so I could make an extra block for myself to keep. So I have blocks for myself that match the sets I mailed. I sure don't want to mail 5 blocks from my 5 sets just to receive them back again!
It's handy to buy fat quarters for this particular block because the size fits nicely to the pattern. Maybe it could be considered for a set to be 5 blocks instead of 6. That way if people enjoy using fat quarters they would have enough fabric to keep a block for themselves. A lot of online fabrics are sold in FQs or bundles of FQs and it's a nice way to get a broader selection of prints than you might buy otherwise.

what ever is easer for you to sort. I took photos of mine so do not need one back. I have left over fab if I want to make one each. Thanks anyway. MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.

Here is our update:
Givio – 5 sets REC’D
Grandma Cindy – 2 sets
happylab - 4 sets REC'D
jaba – 6 sets REC’D
lauriejo – 2 sets
letsquilt - 4 sets REC'D
Likethedog – 2 sets
madbury - 5 sets REC'D
mom-6 – 4 sets REC'D
Nelco – 2 sets REC'D
Stitch124 - 2 sets REC’D
Tubsfam – 2 sets
wildyard – 4 sets REC’D
(and me, of course!)
I will be swapping and mailing on Saturday and I will check my mail when I get home from work this evening. Whatever I don't receive in time will be returned unswapped. As of this post, we have 10 swappers which I think is a good response.
Thanks everyone!
