Count me in, and thank you for the pm letting me know. Sending pm now.

A mini quilt sounds like a wonderful idea! I love little things!! :)

I'm in! Looking forward to the swap.

I will be finishing some things up, and then be able to think about my little quilt. Sounds like we are all going to have lot's of fun.

Thank you Omacookie for poking me on this one!! I would have missed it. I have been very busy remodeling the bathroom at home, and along the way, started a couple of other projects!! Oh, me, oh, my!! I do that all the time. I was not going to do any swaps for the summer, but this is just irrisistable! I am doing a round robin on another site, but have my last 3 Boom swaps to get the tops together. Can't even think about it with the house torn up like it is. LOL But a mini won't take much space, right?

We are amassing quite a great group! Thanks so much for signing up ya'll :)
I can't wait to get started!!!!

I'm in and ready to get started. Can't wait, Thanks for doing this mini swap.

I'm so excited for this! I recently purchased one of the lil metal mini quilt holder stands, it's 12" x 14", and poor lil thing is sitting empty...:( So this swap is perfect!! And I almost overlooked it. I've got to check in more often on the swaps pages...
Here's a link to the stand I bought:

Count me in Thanks.

Omacookie, Don't forget to pm me the info required so I can add you to the list!

Please can ANYONE guide me to the place where all the Guidelines are for this 'Swap' group? I don't know how to find things on this site and have to be led like a 'Blind' person on where to go.....lol....tnx for any HELP!

Just go to page one and it has all the info. If you still have questions just pm Tlambing. :-)

I pm'd you the link, but just in case...here it is again:
Mini Quilt Swap- sign ups close June 20th

tlambing, I think we are really taking off. :)

Yes. Isn't this exciting???
I've already started planning mine? I think mine will finish 6x8" With a perfect summertime theme ;)
Anyone else got an idea of what they may be doing?

I'm trying something out today just to see how it's going to work and what size it will be.

I'm working on something that will finish at about 10" x 12".

I have it narrowed down, but making sure, we choose what to make as long as it's in the guidelines outlined, right?
I know on some swaps we have to wait, get your partner, and ask what they're wanting.
I am fine either way, but I actually prefer the "surprise" of getting what my partner has chosen. Plus, I'm pretty adventurous as far as I'm not picky on what I get. I figure when we sign up for a swap, we go into it knowing we all have different tastes, and skill levels.
I always just try to make something I would be happy to get back. :thumbup:

Jenniepenny, your size will fit my "poor lil empty" table top quilt holder perfectly...:cool:
Kif

I was waiting to get my partner but I do have an idea of what I would like to make. :-)

The theme is "summer". What you make is totally up to you. Hoping for surprises all around! I'm going to do my best to put like finished sizes together, wish me luck.

At our monthly guild " Sew In " yesterday I put together my mini top also the backing. It is 12 x 12 in. I can hardly wait to see my swap partner !!!!

I have so many ideas that I can't seem to decide on just one LOL.

I already have ideas too!!! All those mini paper pieced patterns......!!!!! Can't wait!

This sounds like fun. Count me in! Sent PM. Thanks!

Here's to you having an easy "match process" :thumbup:
And want to say I'm actually fine with any size, so that's one down for ya..
Kif

[ haven't done this in forever, but I am between quilts so it's a good idea. I'm in!

I'm game for any size as well!

ok you got me. :) I have so many different color flowers here that that is never an issue :) no applique from me. done it and didn't enjoy it very much at all. Not great at it. but open to all sorts of other ideas :) something pretty could be used as a little wall hanging but also as a table topper? perhaps...so many options... so many ideas. I can do that time line no trouble. gulp (grin).

Welcome aboard Brat!

We're off to a running start! With 20 swappers so far!!!!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]479290[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]479291[/ATTACH] I couldn't sleep so I ended up looking at mini quilts. I was surprised to see this way a very small mini was used. It was put in between some pretty cups to add more interest with this little partridge. I think we are going to have lots of fun. In this instance though, it does not have a binding as we are to do, but it was listed in with mini quilts.

That is sew cute...do we have to bind or is a finished edge good? I think on a tiny piece a binding might overwhelm it.

Really sweet display of a mini quilt.
