dqs6 swap - sent & recieved!

this post is long overdue, i know. but i just wanted to give a little update on the doll quilt swap. i finished my quilt a few weeks ago and i was very happy with the outcome! throughout this project i taught myself how to paper-piece, machine quilt and attach a cross grain binding. i referred to kaffe fassett's glorious patchwork quilt book for the paper-piecing and for the binding i used a tutorial on the crazy mom quilts blog. both were a big help and highly recommended.





i sent it off to megan (whoolly interlude) in louisville, kentucky. she has received it and had some very sweet things to say about it. i am so pleased that she likes it!

also, i received my package from nichole (partridgepeartree) a few nights ago. this swap was my first in a very long time, and i was overwhelmed with excitement while opening the package! i recognized the quilt immediately from the group pool and was so happy to have it in my hands! thank you so much nichole!!!



she also included some great fat quarters and note cards which i lovvvve!



i had such a wonderful time swapping with these great ladies and can't wait until the next round!
