Late one night, as I lay awake pondering my rental home’s ghastly wood-paneling, inspiration struck. A fellow Instagrammer’s clever solution to create a makeshift design wall using Warm ‘N Natural quilt batting sparked an idea. I envisioned adorning my walls with mini quilts, transforming the space into a vibrant gallery. However, the thought of potential mishaps with my energetic youngster and the cost of batting dashed my dreams.
Determined to beautify my walls, I brainstormed alternatives. The orangey hue cast by the paneling irked me, and I yearned for a change. My mind drifted to my talented friends, my fabric stash, and a cherished mini quilt gift. Eureka! Hosting a mini quilt swap seemed the perfect solution—quick, fun, and a surefire way to spruce up my space. Excitedly, I rallied friends to join in the creative exchange, promising a delightful array of happy mail.
Here are the guidelines/suggestions for the swap:
- Partners will be assigned based on submitted answers for a tailored swap experience.
- Provide detailed information to ensure a successful exchange.
- Quilts can range from 6″x6″ to 24″x24″.
- Maintain secrecy by not tagging your partner; sneak peeks are welcome!
- Mini quilts must be mailed by Friday, November 15, providing ample time for quilt market and other commitments.
- To preserve the surprise, aim to send your swap between November 8-15.
- Join the Flickr group to share photos, exchange ideas, and connect with fellow participants.
- Follow the hashtag #schnitzelandboominiquiltswap to explore others’ creations.
With anticipation building, let’s embark on this mini quilt adventure together—creating, sharing, and spreading joy one stitch at a time!
