Have you made a mini quilt? I haven't yet so I decided to sign up for the latest round of the Down Under Doll Quilt swap on Flickr. I put together this inspiration mosaic for my partner.

The partner I've been assigned has different colour taste to me, so I always find that challenging (especially as I don't have a lot of lovely fabric in her colours). Maybe because I don't have the right fabric, I'm finding it really hard to find inspiration and settle on a design. I've got a little time up my sleeve, they don't need to be posted until early October.
Have you ever put your hand up for something and then struggled to execute?
Yes. I have found that swaps always stretch me. I often tackle something that I would never tackle of my own accord. This leads to either learning or struggling, or both! I love to do swaps, but only do a certain number each year otherwise I struggle to keep up!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying...swaps are always a bit of a challenge for me also. I generally am assigned a partner with likes totally different from mine. Then, I really stress about making something they will like. The last swap I did like that, I didn't even get a thank-you. It leaves me thinking that they really didn't like what I made.
ReplyDeleteI've never done a swap but have really thought about it!! I would love for you to join me at www.sewcraftykathy.blogspot.com
