We do have a bunch for the November/December swap! But these October quilts are just gorgeous. How am I going to copy all these?!! I need more swaps! LOL! I just wanted to say all of you are such talented quilters. From the beginners to the advanced. You all made them look like you've been quilting 100+ years! They are all so special. I hope we get more participants that will venture into doll quilt territory. It is really easy and stress-free, not to mention you get to start and complete a quilt. I do have trouble with that feat! These doll quilts stretch my ability and give me great satisfaction. Yeah, it's a small quilt, but what great practice. Try out a new technique, use up those scraps, buy some fabric that talks to you, minimize a pattern you've been thinking of, start from scratch if you're a newbie. Just sew and have fun!
January is Esqmommy's theme: design a quilt representative of your state or country. I hope you all will consider joining in on the fun! It can be as simple as an orange color if your state is Florida or California (we both produce oranges!). Don't over think it. Just create! We'll go back to partners in January, so you'll learn a little about your partner's state or country!
Happy quilting everyone!

I can't speak for Chele, since she is the DQ QUEEN, but it seems to me that your city represents a portion of your state, so it would be great to do something for your city - what is it? For example, in CA, Gilroy is known as the garlic capitol! If I lived there, I would probably make something around that, and it would represent both my state and my city! I don't live there (man, it gets hooooot there), but you know what I mean! I live near Berkeley, and found some great tye dye fabric, so I may go with something along those lines!
