If you remember....or look back to this post...I participated in a mini quilt in a bag swap in which my partner was unable to make me a quilt.
She was sweet and sent me a bunch of fabric to make up for it. I still wanted a little quilt made from the fabric but wondered if I'd ever get around to making one for myself.
Lucky me, John, AKA QuiltDad, left me a comment and asked if I'd like to do a private swap. He missed round one and offered to make me a little quilt with my fabrics and he'd send me some fabric so I could make him a little quilt.
Well, here are the results:
This is the quilt he made for me. He says he's been obsessed with string quilts lately and wanted to make one with different sized blocks. What a fun little quilt. I love all the colors, (of course) and I enjoy seeing all the patterns that resulted from the different sized blocks. He was generous and made it about 24 inches square. Thanks John!!!
Now here's the quilt I made for him:
The fabric is Tula Pink's Nest and the block I used was the friendship star, but I overlapped the blocks a bit to come up with this design. And how fun that when he sent me my quilt he included a charm pack (40-5 inch squares) of this same fabric line and some chocolate-yum!
Thanks again Quilt Dad!

How fun to have a private swap! I love the quilt you made for him. It turned out so great! I like what he did with your fabrics too!
What a nice swap! I love the way both of the quilts turned out!
Sometimes I really wish I wasn't craft impaired.
Both designs have such a cool graphic quality. I love both sides of the one you made. So fun to make new blog friends.
You're very welcome! I think it was a very successful swap -- 2 GREAT quilts! Thanks to you, too. : )
I'm so glad you were at least able to get it turned into a quilt! it looks great, and he probably did a better job than i could have :) Good job guys!
