Thank you all for your lovely comments on my tote. :-) I am already using it to store my rulers and I just love it!
Myra~ you have the right idea's about swapping. I never used to count the number of blocks I swap, but for the Christmas swap we had 402. Everyone got back the same number they sent in, an assortment of other swappers blocks, and no one got any duplicates. That's my goal when I swap. ;-) We had 2 international swappers in this swap.. it is always fun to see the fabrics from other places too. :-) Hopefully I will get my top together in a few weeks. I need to think about how I want to set the blocks. ;-)
I have made lots of quilts from swapped blocks. In fact, I am 'going quiltin' this weekend and hope to quilt up a couple tops from previous swaps. :-) If I remember to take the camera along, I'll take some photo's again. The Christmas Rail Fence I showed after my last quilting trip, and the blue/yellow string quilt both came from swap blocks. As did the 30's quilt I've got in this post. I do have a few more tops to quilt from swapped blocks... all in time. ;-)) I do enjoy my swap blocks! :-)
Until next time, have a good weekend y'all!~
