Description:

For this swap, make a colorful mini quilt for your partner. Example sizes would be from 6" x 6" to 15" x 15". And it doesn't have to be square, but you get the size idea. A quilt should be a top, batting, and backing. It is usually bound and finished with a small label or signed by the quilter. You can do a whole cloth design, applique, traditional piecing, improvisational piecing, etc. They can be hand pieced, machine pieced, hand quilted, machine quilted or a combination.

Sender's choice, so here's your chance to try out a new technique, use up your scraps or buy a couple fat quarters you've been drooling over. You can start making your little quilt now and have it ready to go.

I will check for potential flakers and please don't join if you don't intend to make a quilt or if you don't have time to meet the deadline. There will be other mini swaps you can join when you have time. And as with all swaps, please thank your swap partner by rating. You guys know what it takes to finish a quilt, so please be courteous and thank/rate.

Google "Miniature Quilts" and check out the images for inspiration.

Does the quilt have to be pieced? Could we use embroidery blocks as long as the piece is quilted in some fashion? ( I'm asking in terms of redwork blocks where the quilting is around the outside of the blocks to hold all three layers together before binding.)

Embroidered blocks would be lovely!
