alright, 'fess up...are you following a pattern or designing your own?
:)
I'm pretty sure I found a pattern/block I would like to make for this swap, but am wondering of others are designing their own?
maybe I'll have to keep thinking.

I am also designing my own. This is one I can have fun with by designing as I go along. Just let my mind go, and see what happens. lol....

The first one looks different from the 2nd one LOL, I have to go pick up some grey fabric for the 2nd one. Oops did I say it would have grey?

I am mulit-challenged this month! I ventured into 3 swaps, doll quilt, modern mini quilt, and needle case. I can't wait to see what you made me, I mean come up with for your partner :D

hahahaha.:):):) well you will not be getting a mini with gray fabs from me that's for sure. i have several shades of gray for a yellow, black, gray quilt i need to design but not for this swap. no, i went brights for this one. i think the kaffe fassett inspired one will be great for you. that's what i'm thinking.

i want to do that needle case swap one of these days. i just haven't gotten around to it. i have this wonderfully colorful fabric for the outside fabric though it is not cotton but it sure makes up nice. i have made several needle cases with matching thread catcher with it. one of these days i will get there.

and krystyna tried pulling me into the doll swap. uh uhn. not any time soon.:D

i am getting much excited with this swap. i look forward to seeing all the creations. yippee!!!!!!!:thumbup:

man! i can't believe you're leaving me out! lol! at least one of those is mine!(i hope, i hope!)

golds-- we're in the same 3 swaps! wouldn't it be a hoot if we're partnered up?! i'm also visiting the mystery train from time to time and dropping off donuts and coffee, my specialty--shopping at dunkin donuts!

havplenty-- you would love the doll quilt swap! it is ssooo much fun! and it's gratifying to get something finished in a short amount of time. and make new friends! that's the best part of all these swaps!!

nancia i have been in the monthly secret pal swap for 2 years so i have plenty of friends.:) it is enough to think of things to make each month for that swap. they are fighting over my postage stamp potholders now. i surely don't need another project to think of making such as a doll quilt plus i don't know what i would do with them. i certainly don't want to collect them. nope not for this gurl at this time.

when krystyna took over as host of the doll quilt swap she convinced several sp swap members to come over and join her. what do y'all do with all of those doll quilts anyway?

oh and a question for this group, are you attaching some sort of hanging ability to the back of your minis? i made a button jar mini for the sp swap and forgot to do so. and then someone sent me a mini and also forgot to do so. attaching a hanging option to the quilt just makes it more convenient. not sure if anyone had thought about it.:thumbup:

p.s. here is a not so good pic of the button jar mini i made. i forgot to take a separate pic of it. come to think of it, wouldnt this qualify as a modern mini? i got the idea from a modern quilt website.

Havplenty, I love it, and it should qualify as a modern quilt, because it's not the typical pieced quilt.
