Early Block Swaps
I love to swap blocks, fabric strips, fat quarters or whatever is involved with quilt things.
I have been quilting for many many moons, (yikes - since 1978) and have been participating in block or fabric swaps since around 1983 when I first swapped 3" x 6" Flying Geese blocks. OK, these weren't the fancy dancy "4 at a time" or "no waste" flying geese'. These flying geese were made the old fashioned way, where we cut (with real scissors) real triangles, then sewed them together. No rotary cutters at that time! Yeah, I am an 'old lady' of 65 and was quilting in the 'dark ages'.
