craftykk, this was only my second swap. My talent and skill level is not up where perhaps it should be but I had a fun time trying! I know about time constraints. I'm taking off June and July because I will be spending some vacation time with my daughter's and the youngest grandchildren.

I love makin the top but the quilting was pretty hard, I had a hard time making nice curves where I wanted. Thankfully, my sweet partner Patricia14 had been patient with me and doesn't mind getting a quilt from a newbie. I was upset at the imperfections in the quilting but once it was all done they were not quite as obvious. But oh my, I do not like doing binding! I'll admit my grandma did most of it because I wimped out early on, so I probably won't be signing up anymore for this swap
I love the quilts but I'm still way too new to be doin them to swap. (plus I do home day care and I'm getting 2 new 2 month old babies in May so I think I'll be pretty busy for a while haha). But I love looking at the posts and seeing your work.
I'm in awe of the talent on this board, you ladies make some beautiful quilts!
