June Mini Quilt Swap..Stars and Stripes (Red, White and Blue)
 

For this swap we will be making miniature quilts. The suggested size is 6-18 inches or anywhere in between, finished.
Square, round, rectangle, hexi, it’s up to you.

The theme is “Stars and Stripes/Red, White and Blue”
either your literal interpretation or just the color way you choose.
The little quilt must have a top, batting and backing and must be bound. You can use any method you wish to fashion the top, piecing, appliqué, whole cloth, thread painting etc.
This will be a partnered swap. Each partner will make a mini quilt for the other.
(Partners cannot impose requirements or expectations upon each other.)

Thanks - -

I'm always in! Sending a PM now. :)

Me!! In again!!!

I'm in again. Love the theme

Oh, I can't join this month. Won't be home. I'll sure miss the swap. You have fun.

I'm in & sent you a pm! Thanks!

I'm in again,love these mini's

Guess what I worked on today in honor of Memorial Day? My mini!!! In fact, it's about ready to be quilted. I'll be ready for my partners' name in no time. Yeah!!!

I called my son who's in the Army and days like this are tough on him because he lost members of his squad in combat. Such a huge loss.

Thanks to all who serve and have served our country. We owe such a debt of gratitude.

Make sure to pm me if you're interested in joining! posting your desire on the thread doesn't count ;)

I know exactly what I'm going to do for this months mini, I just need to get going...

Hi, I'm in. Looks like it will be a great experience.

I liked my mini so much I think I'll make another for me!

I am in for this month. My info has been sent.

11 swappers so far! Woo hoo

Klaws I love your patriotic flower rose! WHoooooo so pretty. Do you have a pattern?

ok you got me again. I fell in love with the mini I received last month and think a couple extra days to start working on it is helpful! I have this grand cowboy red white blue fabric that I received as a gift from another quilter and that is going to be my launch point I think. Hope I get someone who loves cowboys! lol.

Up to 13 swappers! A few of our regulars are sitting out this month :( I certainly understand how life sometimes gets in the way. So, we may have a small group.

I plan to work on mine tomorrow at our UFO get together. I should be able to get'er done. I'm just struggling with what size I'm gonna shoot for.
Here's a little hint though....I'm gonna use Red, White and Blue fabrics! :p

I'll have mine done this week-end too. Hubby left this morning for a 10 day "guy's retreat" to the mountains. The 10 or so of them should have a good time.....

I have my quilt top done. Now to sandwich & see about finishing it. Excited to see who my partner will be! :)

My avatar is just a picture. I wish it was a quilt.

Hold onto your socks! I am almost finished with my mini and I don't even have my partner yet! Wooo hooo! Love how it's coming out. Here's a sneak peek at one of the fabrics :)

Nice!!!
!!!!!

I just sent a PM that I have to pull out of this swap for June.
I will resign up in July.
We are having our house painted and I have to get ready for that,plus we are going on a cruise the second week,I have a lot to do.
Sorry girls,I'll miss getting my fun mail I call it.

Come on everybody. Just one more day to sign up for the pincushion/needlecase swap. Join in the fun!!!

Wow! tlambing great sneak peek. You are really quick. :p

Letsquilt have fun on your cruise. :)

Thanks! I've got to remember to resize my photos before posting from my iPad! Otherwise, they post GIANT

Tlambing: you can post sign ups close today on my swap the mug rug swap! maybe a few more players will jump on over and we can boost the sign ups! also ask the other swaps if its ok ifyou post sign ups close today.. worth a shot. I don't see why anyone would mind at all. Klaws has a swap perhaps you can post on hers also? Klaws? what do you say?

I am jazzed about this. sometimes summer swaps are slower because of holidays and such. Everyone travels a bit during the summer. This is a great swap and I cant wait to see who I get as a partner! yeeehaa!

We're all one happy family. I have no problem for other hosts to post a sign up notice on my swap. I already posted one here and also one of your mug rug swap Brat. :)

Sign ups close today! Come on and join us!

I sent you a PM hope I can still get in :)

We are doing partners this month in the pincushion swap and we have an uneven number. Anyone else like to join in? Please? Partners will be assigned tomorrow.
