Doll Quilt Swap 9

It's that time again. I signed up for another round of Doll Quilt Swap. I think the last time I participated was Round #4 actually -- I sent a fun little orange and aqua number to Laura. Thanks to Doll Quilt Swap 4, Laura and I are now blog friends. I love that. And to all my non-quilty friends -- these doll quilt swaps aren't necessarily just for "dolls". I have several from past swaps that I have collected and eventually plan on hanging in my basement all together as an art wall. It's pretty cool, especially since several of them traveled thousands of miles from other countries.

All participants are encouraged to try and make a Flickr mosaic of quilts we like so our partner will have a better idea for inspiration. I'd never attempted a Flickr mosaic, but I figured it out this afternoon and voila:




1. Dresden Plate quiltie, 2. windmill quilt detail, 3. Carnival String Quilt - complete, 4. My Pillow Talk Swap from Little Miss Shabby, 5. Joseph's Coat Pillow - it's done!, 6. completed pillow for pillow talk swap 3, 7. Twinkle laid out , 8. Flea Market Fancy hexagon quilt, 9. Cathedral Window Pillow, 10. momma, 11. patchwork cushion, 12. dqs8 received, 13. finished ..., 14. Jacob's Coat Quilt-along, 15. Molly's Quilt - Front, 16. Union Jack Pillow with Liberty prints

This represents a whole load of randomness that I am really enjoying right now. But I want my quilt partner to know -- I would seriously love ANYTHING you come up with for me. Don't be limited or feel intimidated by this mosaic alone. Just the fact that someone is making something specifically for me is great enough for me. No matter what, I will love it!

Now the wheels need to start turning in my head for what I will create for the partner I was assigned. So many ideas...

I have a peabrain! I had no idea you made me that aqua and orange quilt! Lol! How silly of me! If I never paid you proper mind to say thank you I'm doing it now! :) Thank you!! Good luck with DQS9!

I love all of your quilting posts. They are very inspirational for my "someday" projects!

I'm in the swap, too, but I've never done it before!

Oh this brought back such fond memories of my grandma and my mom quilting. I have a beautiful dresden plate quilt that my grandma made especially for me. Love it.
