November Quilt swap

November theme “Life’s a Cornucopia”

Sign-ups close November 3, 2014

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.
(If you and your partner decide to go slightly bigger, that is up to the two of you)

The theme is “Life’s a Cornucopia”

cor·nu·co·pianoun\ˌkȯr-nə-ˈkō-pē-ə, -nyə-ˈ\
: a container that is shaped like a horn and is full of fruits and flowers
: a great amount or source of something

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.)

Any swapper that fails to follow through and does not contact me and their partner will be banned from any of my future swaps and will receive bad (swap)feedback. I know that sometimes things happen that are out of our control, I certainly would take this into consideration, but you MUST COMMUNICATE.
