SWAP IT OUT!

My commitments for Spring Swaps are done! 
I can't believe how much fun the Instagram swaps are.
And addictive...but more on that later!

Spring Mini Swap
#springminiswap

You know I luv me some Nested Churn Dashes

I think it has now become my "go to"mini kwilt!

They finish at 24" square

and you can use such fun fabrics!

They are easy enough to FMQ 

with opportunity to try new kwilting designs

A white back and the FMQ shows up pretty good here. 

Next up

Rainbow Mini Swap

#rainbowminiswap

My assigned partner dropped out of the swap

but I had already made this.  Spent lots of time

figuring out how to make a rainbow 

without jewel tone fabric.

She mentioned that she didn't like jewel tones.

So I pulled some medium value prints and use

scraps from MODA Quilt Blocks

This log cabin finishes at 16 1/2" square.

Simple straight line kwilting on the log cabin block

lets the fabric be the star.

I used a fun print for the backing.

Fast Forward...my swap mama provided a new partner.

You see if someone drops, someone flops!

I hope my new partner will like this mini.

I have stalked her and will find some items to

add in her package to make it her own.  

I also joined in the

Charley Harper Swap

I luv the Noodlehead Supertote...it's sew easy
