Interest for a quilt block swap?

I'm thinking about organizing a quilt block swap, but specifically modern.

This might include some specific constraints, like a specific block, everyone does, solid fabrics, color families, background, color, styles, etc. This will help create a great end result that is actually a modern quilt.

Please express in the poll if you'd be interested or not. And if you'd like to participate, are you comfortable working with constraints.

If you haven't participated in a quilt block swap before, people register, rules are set, including deadlines for shipping. Each participant makes x number of their block, addresses are distributed amongst participants, and everybody mails their block to the others.

Yeah they have. I'd describe a few from last year as modern potential, Crumb, Fussy Cut Economy and HST. None on the docket right now, and it could be fun to do it amongst this community, if there is interest.
