purple? been going around for years and No you don't get many if any back. so don't bother. it's a chain letter and not legal some say. i tried it years ago because friends sent to me but i stopped when i started getting some from strangers with no warning.

I think they are illegal if they ask you to send money.

Chain letters are a waste of time and never go anywhere.

All chain letters are illegal even if it's not sending money.

I also don't do chain letters of any kind. If you want to trade with your friends that's great -- get together and have a swap fest. The personal interaction with other quilters is so much better than anything done by mail.

With as few people as use snail mail now days, you'd think they'd be encouraging chain mail now!

I got one of these several months ago... thought it might be fun so I sent off my squares and letters as required. I only got squares from 2 other people so I say "NO" , don't waste your time.
