I wasn't sure if it was really ok for me to post since I am not in this current quilt for quilter's swap but I have been following it from the beginning and I love all the quilts that are being posted and can't wait to see the other ones still coming.
twinriverfarm your quilt is stunning and has the feel of antique mosaic tiles. The colors even hint at that. No wonder elisabrat is thrilled with it.
I have been waiting for some time to see elisabrat's Frog Pond quilt and it sure lives up to my expectations and beyond. I really like the name too.
I can't believe all these swappers that are already finished and made intricate quilts also. With the last swap I was the one lagging along at the end.
Thank you ladies for sharing the pictures.

it is a little intimidating. I just have to remind myself that I'm a beginner and everyone starts sometime. I just want to make my partner happy. This isn't about swapping a perfect quilt, but swapping a quilt that's perfect for us.
Frog pond is too cute, love the pattern.
Quick question, is everyone's quilt within the limits, photos make it hard to tell.

I have been working so hard on getting quilts finished this weekend, even my partners, that I have not been on yet. AND OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!Those are just stunning. I am in love with those colors. Yep Brat that Frog Pond sure did find a nice lily pad to rest at, You are both great quilters.
Linny, I should be mailing tomorrow. I have to finish up the binding and it is off to you. Will that work? It should arrive on Thursday, but no later than Friday, depending on mail. Most of the time it is two days priority, but you know sometimes they just make it that third day. Let me know. I am thrilled with how it came out. It is hard to give it up, but I know you are going to just love it. I think I ma going to have to make one for myself.

Beth - That will work as yours is going out tomorrow morning also. Really hope you like it. We leave early Saturday for the most northern region of lower Michigan (right on Lake Michigan) to camp. If for any reason it doesn't get here until after we return it's okay....post office will hold for me....can't wait to see it. Talk to you later.

i completely agree. I am feeling very intimidated with all the beautiful quilts shown so far and what I know will be posted to come. I have no confidence in myself and wish I could go back a few months and do something different. But this is my first swap and I did enjoy working on the quilt I made. Everyone's work is beautiful and unique.
