I received my beautiful quilt from Dorrell ann a few days ago.
Isn't it great? I love the colors and the star pattern she used.
It's great, THANKS so much! :D It's now hanging in my sewing room with all the others. I'll need more wall space soon. :lol:

Dorrell ann, I'm mailing your quilt in the morning. Be on the lookout!

Ohh. I've seen that backing material but never could figure out what to use it for. It worked great for the Backing! Well done.

Oh my, I need to remember to put a label on my quilt also. Glad I saw that. That is a detail that makes a difference. Remembered one for that wedding quilt and it was something they commented on. It was appreciated I shoud say.

Love the newest quilts. The "Summer Vacation" and palm tree on the beach are especially creative.

[quote=Chele]Sign up time for the Quilting Board's 25th Doll Quilt Swap.

All levels of quilters are welcome to play with us. We're just here to have fun. It's a great chance to practice a new technique, use up your scraps and/or stash, buy some new fabric, and make new quilty friends. Here are the details:

Doll Quilt Swap #25 -- July 2011
No Theme, Sender's Choice

DOLL QUILT SWAP GUIDELINES

SIZE: from 12”x12” to 24”x24”…any size or shape in between. If your finished quilt measures 24" x 26", or 11" x 13" it's fine. No worries or excessive rules for this swap.

MATERIALS: natural fibers/cotton, wool, linen.

EMBELLISHMENTS: if you want to use them, feel free…beads, rickrack, buttons, doilies, ribbon, lace…anything or nothing at all.

CONSTRUCTION: Pieced, appliquéd, wholecloth; quilted by hand or machine; and bound.

LABEL: It is recommended that you attach a label to the back of your quilt. A label is a nice addition to any handmade quilt. You can even sign the back of your quilt with your name and date. Whether or not you decide to label your quilt, please do include a note with your quilt with your Quilting Board name so that your partner can thank you.

MANNERS: Please remember to thank your partner. Just a simple post is great. It also lets me know you've received a quilt so I can mark my records and make sure everyone receives a quilt. If you are unable to post a picture, please ask your partner to do so. Much of the fun is seeing everyone's creations.

PARTNERS: You will be paired with a partner for this swap. You will make a quilt for your partner and your partner will make a quilt for you.

DUE DATE: The deadline for all quilts to be sent is July 30, 2011. If this deadline seems tight for you, or you have a busy month, consider making a quilt for the next swap and having it ready to go. You'll get two months to create and less pressure.

COMMUNICATION: If for any reason you cannot meet the deadline or you need to drop out of this swap, please let me know as soon as you know. If you communicate any setbacks with me I can make sure things work out favorably for you and your partner, no hard feelings.

SIGN UP: Sign up begins today and ends June 30, 2011. I’ll assign partners after that date. The group activity thread can be found here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/group_a...sp?gracnum=173

If you would like to sign up, you can respond to this thread or PM me. Please let me know if you are willing to send internationally as we have a few swappers outside of the US.

Love the new quilts! I've been trying to come up with a sunnbonnet sue/ overall sam block for a local block contest. I might just have to copy that one! Make it my own of course!

BonniFeltz

You'll have to share when done then. LOL. sunbonnet Sue and Overall sam are good for a lot. This was in EQ7 but I also found individual ones when I googled coloring pages for them.
Just took two different ones and merged them.
