Jacie,
That sounds great. I need to finish the quilting on yours and then bind. It'll be in the mail next week for sure.

So, I took back the fabric I was going to use for your doll quilt this month and am now making a bigger quilt out of it.
Decided to go to the LQS to get some retro fabric and just go for it. I found a beautiful charm pack of Moda fabrics that were retro and really pretty. Put together a quick DP9 and l fell in love with those fabrics. I used all but 2 colors in your quilt (and I sent those to you). It felt so plain to me because I have been doing so much applique lately - but I have to say, you've opened up new doors to me. I really liked it. Actually, I imagined it as a gorgeous sewing machine cover.
Anyway - Thanks for the eye opener - that's what I love about these swaps. I actually did something new this month. Thank you for that! It's on it's way - I hope you like it.

P.S. I was so excited to get it in the mail to you, I failed to add the note card and I forgot to get a picture before it left here.... If you post a picture I can download it from here.
Gayle,
I really can't wait to see the quilt now! :D
What's funny is...we talked about colors, but not a pattern.
Well, guess what? The one I sent you is a 9 patch, set on point.
We both had 9 patches in our head! :lol:
It's a scrappy, so it was hard for me to send it.
But, now that I read your post on how you like the colors now, I'm sure you are going to like it. ;)
I'm glad you found something "new" that you love.
Please post a picture of the larger quilt when you get it done.
I'd love to see it!
I'll be sure to post a picture of the quilt you are sending.
Thanks for being such a terrific swapper!
Hugs!

This is so much fun! I can't wait for the next doll quilt swapping! Hope I don't miss it. If the sign ups are already going on, can someone post a link? I sure would like to sign up again!
My partners DQ will go out into the mail, hopefully by the end of the week. Already have her envelope labeled, just need to finish up the binding.

I'm hoping to get mine done this week. It seems like everytime I sit down to work on it something happens and I have to put it off. Now that my car is broke it'll be easier to stay put and get it done!
