    Yippeeeeeee

    I am kinda waiting to get my partner so I can find out if there
    are any colors I should avoid using.

    I KNOW it is OUR choice, but I want my partner to be happy,
    and put the mini quilt on display not hide it because the colors
    are not their faves.

    Kind of started an idea yesterday and ended up with 2. Helps when you use the right ruler for what you're trying to make. Will check in later to see if names are posted.

    All the ideas sound great!

    Have all the applique finished on my mine...spent hours (yes, hourS) trying to decide which 2 fabrics I wanted to border it... Finally narrowed it to 3-4 combos....
    I'm doing a very narrow inner border and then a lil wider outer border. Have a bright all over print for the backing.

    Now just waiting patiently (ok, semi patiently ) for name swap time. I think this is a 1st for me.... having quilt so close to finished before getting partner name...
    AND drum roll please, I didn't rip out anything except a few applique stitches that looked "catywampus". Hubby about fainted, since he teases that it seems I like to take out stitches more than I do stitching stitching.
    Take care all,
    Kif

    Oh wow 28 swappers is great. I too love anything summer and cheerful. I will be happy with whatever, because I know it will be made just for me.

    I have looked at so many patterns. I do that with everything before I start. I also like to wait until I get my partner, but that is just me.

    Was it ever decided how we can do our binding?

    I think we are going to have lots of fun, and some already are with having some done. Well the rest of us are too with all our looking at ideas.

    Have fun everyone!

    I'm really wanting the mini's to be bound. Either a separate binding or bringing the backing forward whatever works for you. Let's see how this works this time and maybe in the future we will have more leniency on the binding?

    Hoping for 2 more swappers! "Come on you know you want to join us!"

    I have never sewn so many little tiny 1 1/4" inch pieces in my whole life. And the 1" little point things, forgot the name, I have to have my head examined for sure. Especially since I've never done them before, this swap doing all kinds of "first's" for me...that's a good thing, learning I hope. One good thing Tlambing, It's a little under 12 x 12"
