I’ve joined my first Schnitzel and Boom mini quilt swap! I enjoyed my last swap so much I joined this one and another.
My partner this time has very different tastes than I do, so I hope she likes what I’ve come up with.
I decided to use the charm pack I won from the Celestial Star QAL, Birch Farm from Joel Dewberry, and really just made it up as I went along. I cut a bunch of half square triangles and rearranged it until I liked it.
My partner also said she likes hand quilting, and while it’s not my favorite (I haven’t done it in YEARS and when I did, it wasn’t that well), I would like to use these mini swaps as opportunities to try techniques that I might not otherwise use.
It’s not taking as long as I thought it would, and I can see some improvement in my stitch consistency. Still, not something I’m going to do often.
Linking up with Fiber of All Sorts’s goal setting party, as this needs to be done before the end of January.

I’m sure that your swap partner is going to love it.
It’s darling, she will love it. I like that you’re using dark thread to quilt it.
Your stitches are wonderful. I am sure that your gift will make your partner very happy.

I miss seeing you on fb-goad I remembered about your blog!! Thinking of starting a bargello by following your tutorial..after I finish a quilt for my nephew (eta april 🙂 )
I’m glad you remembered! If my tutorial is not helpful, there are tons of others that might be clearer too.
