ok, i have been a wee bit busy recently, but i have a good excuse. i volunteered to be the big swap mama for dqs4. i never got around to posting about it,what with all the excitement. sign ups are already closed, but i just wanted to mention it for the people that got in. lisa is back as a swap mama, as well as tanaya and sarah, and ME! woohoo. what fun
i think i have decided to make this for my quilt. i am still waffling on the fabrics, but i will probably use most of these. i like the idea of a green and blue quilt. martha would approve, i think.
a friend and i are swapping houses. she is making me three little paper houses and i made her this. she just wanted the patchwork, i think she is going to attach it to cardstock. it is about 9 x 12.
ttfn
WOW! It'll be fantastic! What a lucky swappartner you have! -and he/she doesn't even know it yet :-)

At the quilt show I just attended, there were a few blue & green quilts - all of them were very nice! (I have one planned...)

I'm so excited to be a part of the Doll Quilt Swap this time. I got an inspiration yesterday afternoon and forgot about nearly everything else.
Love your blues and greens!

What a great idea for your little quilt! And I love the colors you've chosen. Can't wait to see the progress ...
I already know what I am doing, too :)

The green and blue will look fab! Martha would definitely approve.

I decided what to do for DQS4 too. I think I'm going to do some houses. After reading my partner's blog I think she'll like it. I've been wanting to try making some houses since seeing Krom Mama's.
Your house looks good. I'm sure your friend will like it!

i spent over 9 months giving birth to a green and blue quilt with some beiges and mustard yellows in the mix. So with that said I'm loving what you're going to make! Are they raw edge appliqued circles??
guess what I just got in the mail this morning?!!

I just saw this magazine today and realised it was the circle pattern you were to use. The mag was over $15 so I didn't buy it and another US one I would have loved was $31+ - way too much! I love the idea of the circles and the blue and green will be gorgeous!

What a beautiful pile of spotty fabric! I couldn't think of anything much nicer than spots & circles!!!! What a lucky partner you have!
