Why are you currently in Iowa are you moving in the near future? I am in SE Iowa and just curious.

We moved to Muscatine from Seattle by way of a 2-year stop in Montana. It was a work move for my DH. We aren't planning on moving again any time soon. We moved 4 times in Muscatine before we found the right home to buy. I hate moving and am so happy to be in my own home again. Our 4 sons were all grown up and left home, so we decided to try an adventure. That was the Montana thing. We loved it there, but, after 2 years moved on. I'm not good with directions, so I don't know how far you are from me. :-) We have family all over the country so I'm never too sure about anything.

I'm in again. Now, to start thinking. And I wonder what I'm going to do with all these little quilts!

I have a girl friend who lives in the country on the back side of Muscatine. We are about an hour and a half from you. My oldest and her DH used to live in Davenport and we drove that 2 hr drive all the time. Davenport is just above Muscatine.

It would be fun to get everyone together that lives in the general area. Maybe this summer some time.

I love, love the Aviary fabrics from Moda. All my favorite colors! That will be a beautiful doll quilt. I hope you will post pictures. :-)

I did a practice on the night I signed up. It's a disappearing nine patch. The one for the swap has to have a pink border because I don't have enough green left. Heres the link http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-37517-1.htm

I don't think you needed to practice because that is beautiful!!

I also need your expert advice. I just made my first doll quilt for a swap with Gwyn, but I'm afraid it isn't good enough quality for a swap and am thinking I should start over. Would someone please give me an honest opinion. It won't hurt my feelings at all if you think I should start over, cause that's what I think, too. I have learned so many things from this little bit of fabric. 1. I never would have dreamed I could do a finished quilt in such a short period of time. 2. I think I figured out how to do mitered corners. 3. I think I turned one row of 4-patches upside down, and the color pattern I expected didn't happen. 3. Finally tried triangles after reading how to do them for a couple years. 4. Just an overall feeling of accomplishment. Oh, the dimensions are about 24 x 24.

So, you can see, even if it isn't "swap" quality, I'm a happy camper. :-)

From what I can see of the picture - your seams match nicely and the points look good on the triangles- this is a very nice piece for a beginner and anyone on the board would be happy to have it. Keep up the good work. Moosegirl
