This is the color way I can do with my fabrics. Wanted a large selection. Now how do I want to set these is the bigger question.

Linny 08-09-2016 02:52 PM

They're all very nice, Beth. I 'm sure you will do something beautiful with them.

ube quilting 08-09-2016 03:06 PM

A nice combination of fabrics quilterMomma. Anxious to see the creativity happening!

QuilterMomma 08-10-2016 07:56 AM

Well I do have it sandwiched and ready to quilt. Would so love to put a spot of red into it for fun. I decided with the fabrics to make a bargello with just one streak of red. I think it will be cool. I have to get a demo ready for the quilt show in Sandpoint this weekend. Will post photos when done, of the bargello mind you.

Okay...sneak peaks for Uncle Gravy and a question...purple or orange for you? ("Monochrome...give us those nice bright colors...")

UncleGravy 08-10-2016 12:44 PM

So cool!!! They are both beautiful... but I'm an orange kind of guy!

Chasezzz 08-10-2016 12:48 PM

Coming your way soon, Uncle Gravy!

ube quilting 08-10-2016 02:52 PM

Both colorways and fabrics are great.

I am waiting for my machine to come back from the repair shop so I can get to the quilting portion of my project. I am antsy to get started.

Perseid Meteor shower this weekend! May the skies be clear.

kwiltkrazy 08-10-2016 07:49 PM

is this the same as the old doll quilt swap. I only recognize ljdugas's name.

ljdugas31 08-10-2016 08:26 PM

Hi, I think it a little different. Great swap!

ube quilting 08-11-2016 04:02 AM

I don't think this is the doll quilt swap. This is a mini swap But not in the true sense of mini that you replicate a pattern to scale. This is just a small quilt, up to 18" sq. That's my interpretation of the rules, and I'm stickin' to it. Yeah, "that's the ticket".

tlambing 08-11-2016 05:59 AM

Exactly ube!
The doll quilt swap hasn't been around for some time. The fearless hostess for that one moved and then........ It was a fun swap too. I participated many times. I loved trying new patterns for that one.

We're always welcoming here and would love to have you kwiltkrazy.

kwiltkrazy 08-11-2016 07:41 AM

Thanks. I did love the DQ swap. Maybe next month.

QuilterMomma 08-11-2016 09:19 AM

Have mine quilted, now to do binding. I am giving a demonstration on bindings this weekend at a quilt show in Sandpoint, Idaho so will use this as an example and demo subject. It will go out on Monday. Now how do I want to bind it? That is the tough question.

UncleGravy, What is a digital cutter, please explain who it works. I like this picture.

Can you show it in action? or stop action?

Chasezzz 08-12-2016 09:34 AM

I'm likin' it Uncle Gravy! Orange for orange...BTW, Mr. Postman says yours will arrive Monday.

vovoa 08-12-2016 09:37 AM

I'm not a member of this swap but follow it religiously every month because the people on this swap are SO talented!!

ube quilting 08-12-2016 03:02 PM

Thank you very much Vovoa. Are you thinking of joining us next month?:D

klaws 08-12-2016 06:02 PM

I talked to Jan (Jaba) today. She said to tell everyone that she will be flying home tomorrow. We were supposed to meet up but her and DH have been really busy since they came to Florida. They ended up buying a winter home close to their son. They will be back down sometime in November for the winter months and we plan on getting together then. Also, the new granddaughter is beautiful. Maybe she will post some pictures when she gets home.

lovngrandma 08-12-2016 08:10 PM

ube quilting 08-12-2016 08:55 PM

I would be embarrassed, not nearly as creative as all of you.

ube quilting 08-14-2016 07:22 AM

Vovoa, the idea of the swap is participation and sharing, yes, there is a great amount of creativity, but simplicity in a nine patch with pretty fabrics is just as rewarding to receive. We are also here to help each other move forward with their ideas. The QB has encouraged me so much to try new stuff.
peace

Chasezzz 08-14-2016 07:59 AM

Vovoa, we'd love to have you join! All skill levels and kinds of creativity are welcome. It is a fun group, and each month is a challenge that helps build skills.

tlambing 08-14-2016 08:11 AM

Awesomely said ladies! We'd LOVE to have you join vovoa :) It's a great swap to let your creative juices flow. You should see how mine starts and then finishes about 100 miles from that point. I think you'd surprise yourself! and make someone else happy too! Hope you'll consider it.

tlambing 08-15-2016 06:46 AM

I've heard a few have been received. Don't forget the pics :) We're all waiting to see!

Chasezzz 08-15-2016 07:31 AM

Teresa, did you check your mailbox?:)

UncleGravy 08-15-2016 12:02 PM

I have a Silhouette CAMEO. http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/ It will cut out the fabric pieces for you. I mainly only use it when I have a lot of repetitive shapes I want to cut. I will try and get a shot of it in action. It's pretty handy but sometimes it's really aggravating if it messes up cutting.

UncleGravy 08-15-2016 12:04 PM

Vovoa you should totally join us next month! Do it!!!! It really is a great swap and I have enjoyed every month.

ube quilting 08-15-2016 12:10 PM

My machine came home from camp today. I will have it set up and ready to quilt my project on Tuesday. I gave her a test and she is like a brand new machine. Love my Bernina170. There is a lot of stitching ahead of me.:D

A picture of the Mini Linda (ljdugas) made for me. It is so pretty and delicate. Thank you, Linda. The little lace fleurs are so sweet, and I will use the planner for sure.

Linny 08-15-2016 03:31 PM

Linda, Sorry for the delay on everything....gone for a couple of days. I will mail to you tomorrow. Thanks for being my partner in this swap....fun making yours.

Linny 08-15-2016 03:35 PM

Chasezzz, beautiful work on UncleGravy's mini.

CookieZenmilk 08-15-2016 03:44 PM

gorgeous designs!

ube quilting 08-15-2016 04:52 PM

Stunning arrangement in orange.

The lavender reminds me of a Chinese coin, very pretty.
