I always order or go to JoAnns or a LQS. The only real yardage I have is floral or some of landscape. I don't mind as long as my budget holds ok. Besides, what I give I get back in return only in prints I've never seen before. Oh I do have a lot of Oriental but most of what I have is in half yards. Then too I have about 9 totes of this stuff!!

I had greens and will have blues and possobly christmas(will have to check yardage)and need a couple stars or stripes, but I didn't have specialty fabs. Didnt really know anything about them and had no reason/teacher to learn. These swaps not only give me a great new variety of stuff that i never would have had, but I'm learning new stuff!

We will have another 1930 swap next year.. Count on it..

I can't say that I like them that well, but I've only really seen MINE so far...lol. A whole bunch of others may prove to be quite delightful!
