Last year we swapped summer themed 5.5 inch squares over on the I Spy Yahoo Group. I used the swapped fabrics for the centers for a happy block...
... and now I have them all sewn and quilted into a quilt for the camper called "Happy Summer". I'm sure the DGKs will love to sit on it under a tree and play games with their cousins at the campground.
I don't have (and probably never will) a longarm quilter but I got a little adventurous and tried a free motion quilting beginner design from Leah Day's website called "spiral knots". Backing shows as white on my monitor but it is actually a light green.
And now I'm linking up to Pigtales and Quilts because she is having a linky party - I Love a Good Swap Party because I do!
There will be more to come because I have lots of blocks in drawers and wips because I have participated in swaps for years on all the lists I'm on. Next up will probably be my Buckeye Beauty quilt that just needs a border, quilting, and binding.
