Friendship Embroidery Mini Quilt Swap

Today I finished my Mini Quilt for this swap. The swap is hosted by Quilting Gallery

I am really pleased with the result! This is my first time in a swap. The guidelines were to use the stitchery which is in the center here, and then create a quilt around it. The size of the mini quilt had to be between 12" and 24". Mine measures approx. 13" x 14". If you look at my banner on the blog, you may recognize the fabrics from the quilt in the middle, the mini is made completely of leftovers from my charity quilt 'Walk in the Woods'.

Today I also received my partner info, so now I know where to send my mini quilt. It will be shipped in September, sometime.

I would not mind doing a swap again, because this was a fun project!

Anita's Arrowhead

The name has nothing to do with me, unfortunately, but it is an elegant and super-easy block to make using a very clever technique. The test block turned out very nice, and I can see a quilt made out of these!

The 12th block is finished!

Block #3 in Christmas Mystery is done

The third stitchery for the Christmas Mystery project is completed, now only two more remains. Looking forward to the finished result.

Finally finished!

It didn't really take that long to make this quilt, just about 3 and a half week from start to finish. But it was a lot more work than I had expected, I am a little tired of Halloween fabrics right now. The resulting quilt is good-looking, though!

This will be a charity quilt for children at my local hospital. The size of the quilt is approx. 42" x 52". The design is 'Simply Spooky 2' by Red Rooster Fabrics. The quilt has a pieced backing, with leftover Halloween fabrics.

I added some of my own fabric from stash for the front, and I had bought the border fabric with a zillion black cats in the US. 

This is a bright and colorful quilt that will be popular among children, it has got all the appropriate ingredients for a Spooky Celebration! I even completed it in good time before Halloween! 

The back is ready

The quilting is done, so now I have to cut the binding and sew it on. I only show the back of the quilt now, because the poor cats won't show their faces before they get eyes sewed on. (One of the kittens is not ashamed, though).
I hope the quilt will be completely finished in a day or two, and then it will be properly displayed!
