It won't be a swap, but rather a group quilt-a-long. Everyone will work on their own quilt, post pix, talk about challenges and how to's. KLue will lead and provide her wonderful wisdom!!

If I might add a wee thing to this conversation, please?
The software for DJ comes with the neatest feature!! It a grid that you can load up your quilt blocks, even the edge blocks, as you make them, one by one.
You can see at a glance how well you like the latest creative block you made....or not...replace it if you dislike it. It is like your Jane is unfolding before your eyes & you know exactly what it is going to look like as you progress.
I greatly enjoyed making the quilt. I learned a LOT from it, probably more than anything I have ever made. Some of my blocks are surely not my best work because I was still learning but the quilt is doable for anyone. The beautiful fabric was not as readily available then as it is now.
Good luck to all of you, I will enjoy watching your journeys in making these quilts.
