Guess I'm just a bit confused about why someone would want a self portrait of ME...

AND can I just say that googling "self portrait quilt" especially at images.google.com was also very very fun and inspiring. There are some DANG good artists out there!

With most swaps, i usually research the topics and info about the my swap partner. this allows me to send them something i think they would like. With this swap I have the opportunity to send a swap partner something that reflects my like, colors, fabric, etc. Best of all I will recieve something from someone that tells me a little about them.
