    KarenBarnes - I'll do another. The swap will provide a varity of lights and darks and I can maybe plan a "design" of color somehow. I think it will take a few more swaps to have enough to start :) A good design board or a big, hanging piece of flannel would be a big help-another project...never ending! :)

    I'm having fun doing the postage stamp swaps! I figure some day I'll quite the options for making a quilt. I will have a blast sorting all the little pieces! Kind of like when I was a kid and liked sorting pennies by years! :)
