November 2014 - February 2015 Wall Hanging Swap
#21
Looks like a lot more are in this round this time. I really enjoy this swap, mostly because there is actually no pressure, no theme and anything goes like in size and decoration. I saw something on The Quilt Show that I thought I might try this time.

I have to agree with Jeanne, this is also one of the reasons I love this swap.
Can we do mini's as wall hangings? I am in a mini club at my LQS and the patterns are a lot of fun.
I am almost 95% sure what I will make for next time. The pattern is out on my sewing table so when I get back into town from this trip on the 18th, I will have a 4 day weekend and will not be traveling again until the 3rd of December. I am looking forward to spending some time at home and catching up on some serious sewing.

Anoka the only limits I set were it has to be bigger than a mugrug and smaller than a lap quilt. so minis are fine as long as they are bigger than the average mugrug. most mugrugs are in the 6"-8" area.
I just don't want anyone to be receiving a 5" wall hanging and be disappointed.
Any thoughts ladies and gents on how you would feel about a mini wall hanging? I wouldn't have a problem with it if I got one. I'd enjoy it no matter the size.

I wouldn't mind it at all . I even have a few on my design wall that may work well for the swap. I'll post a few pics and see if they are likeable enough.
There is am mini swap on the QB but it has rules and partners specifics that sort of takes a little of the fun out of being creative. Maybe in the future I will get adventurous and participate in a few but I really do like the freedom of the no rules swap.

Hi Bulllock2us, You can do anything you want. There is a method called pillow casing that has no binding and you could do a four step binding where each side id sewn on separately and the ends are tucked in. You can fold the backing to the front for a nice finish too.
Be creative as you want. Here is a little tutorial posted from the last swap to help with binding and it really helped me. Maybe you will find it useful too.
