Angel Quilt

010I got to be an angel for Doll Quilt Swap 7.  One of the participants made a quilt but didn't receive one, or it was taking a long time to arrive.  I had volunteered to help, so I was contacted and asked to make a little quilt.  013014

I got started right away.  There were many other things I should have been doing.  But I dropped everything and played.  I had so much fun with this one and I love how it turned out.

I was happy to help since I was the recipient of an angel quilt during DQS6, plus I received my original quilt a little late in the mail. 

So it was my turn to be an angel for someone else!

Doll Quilt Swap 7

This fun little quilt showed up in a box on my porch today.  Isn't it so cute?!  My secret partner made this special doll quilt for me.  I love it!

DQS7 and Friends

  011010009

I finished up my DQS7 this morning!  I was smart this time and took the pictures before I put on the label.  (So I guess I'm not officially done until that label is on!)

It's almost reversible with the the extras I used to piece the back of the quilt. I really like these fabrics.  They are all from the same collection:  Legacy Collection for A Cause by Howard Marcus for Moda Fabrics.  I'm hoping I have enough scraps to put a little something together for myself.

We've had a couple interesting visitors outside our sliding glass door recently:

This little guy is so cute.  That's my daughter's small hand to give a little perspective. 

This guy...not so cute.  But we were able to appreciate his beauty as we safely inspected him from behind the glass.

Incoming and Outgoing Mail

My July nine patches arrived in the mail today!  Now that I've received all 48 nine patches I'll need to make some plans for them.  

007

If you're interested to see what the other participants end up doing with their nine patches...watch this flicker group.  It'll be fun to see how creative the designs are.  I'm on the look out for a fun idea for my quilt. 

Anina is considering starting a swap blog and hosting regular block swaps, this has been so much fun, I may try it again.

Right now I'm trying to finish up my DQS7 for my swap partner.  Here's a sneak peek...blocks complete, ready to sew them together. 008

And I've got some other projects in the works when I get this doll quilt finished up and shipped off.  I like how it's turning out so far.

DQS7!!!

It's that time again...Doll Quilt Swap 7 is upon us. I'm all signed up and waiting with anticipation to find out who my secret partner is. I should hear any time now!

3726858612_48cf9fb4efThen I'll stalk his/her flickr and blog to find out what sort of little quilt I might make.

I've put together a little mosaic of some little quilts I've been admiring for MY soon-to-be-partner to get an idea of what I like: (gotta make the stalking worth it for them right?)

There are plenty of other ideas in my flickr favorites. I love all sorts of quilts. If it's little, and it's a quilt, I'll probably love it :D.

Let the fun begin!
