Yea.....i am still trying to find the time to make Scrambled a couple blocks. I have 2 extra kids this week and it is about impossible to get to sew anything, actually it is impossible

SE, I still have the block I made for Nikkie. I kept it hoping she would send one to you, but since she hasn't you get it instead!

If she does send one to you I will make another for her.

Noooooo!! I didn't say it for sympathy, I said it so we can all get united on making a plan to prevent this from continuing to happen, Acre is talking a probation for the new folks, maybe that will help, otherwise the swap will grow into a terrible pain in the buttcus. Thank ya'll though for being concerned but we really need to work together to figure how to stop this as a problem, it's not just me that doesn't get blocks from the new folks, it's a few others too and then ther are the ones that send to the new folks that end up getting a great block for free and not returning one...yep, this swapping thing needs a revision

I feel guilty for sending my blocks late but I did send them! LOL

I think maybe we can have a second list for new ones.. somehow.. then they only get blocks sent to them AFTER they send theirs out?

I know I would be frustrated if I sent mine out and never got one back...

This is a really sad problem and since we are all adults it shouldn't exist ! But......

I think that after the due date
of each swap the person running the swap should post all the names of the people who did not follow thru.

This way the other people starting swaps can decide if they want to include those same people in their swap. It is not always the new people that don't follow thru.

I just really want to say that I have enjoyed these block swaps and plan on enjoying them for a long time but I was new a few months ago. If I had been treated like I was untrustworthy then I wouldnt have done the swaps and met you all great people. It is so not fair to send a block and not get a block or to make a block for someone who doesnt make one for someone else. However, I think if we start making policies that discriminate against the new people then we may miss out on their creativity and a chance to enjoy their company. It bothers me when everyone else is restricted because of a few peoples choices. Just my 2 cents worth. SE you know I think you are awesome! I'm not trying to pick on you and I would be happy to send you a block since you didnt get one. Let me know.
