Doll Quilt Swap: More Finished Quilts.

More Finished Quilts.

By ochil_lynz. All done! My partner has the very popular red crosses quilt from DQS8 in her mosaic (it's so popular I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that!) but all I see when I look at it is lots of St. George crosses (England flags) and I am, incase you weren't aware, Scottish. So my first thought was a quilt of various St.George's with a sneaky wee Saltire (Scotland flag) in the corner. And THEN I discovered my partner is a soccer fan. And is watching the world cup. So these are all world cup qualifying teams! (France, Honduras, Denmark, England, Chile, Netherlands, Argentina, Switzerland and USA!)

The funny thing about being in the DQS is that I thought I would feel very strongly that there was a quilt that was especially for me but so far I think I feel that about every quilt which is a bit disconcerting. The talent and creativity in this group just blows me away over and over again.

Brilliant interpretation of a popular quilt! You've managed to embue those simple shapes with so much meaning.

Boy there is just a power to that first quilt! I always end up looking at it and then looking back. It's like a work of art for me. I think it's a porthole and then I think it's some picaso like Mirror...so many options.

Swap Guidelines

The swap guidelines are as follows:

SIZE: from 9"x9" to 18"x18" .. any size or shape in between

MATERIALS: quality fabric, natural fibers/cotton, wool, linen.

CONSTRUCTION: Pieced, appliquéd (needle turned only); must be quilted by hand or machine, not tied; and bound.

DESIGN: No art quilts this time, we're focusing on making miniature quilts like you would find on a full sized bed. If in doubt, ask your mama for advice.

LABEL:Please create a label of some sort for the back of your quilt with your name, date, DQS11, where you live, and who its to.

This is a secret swap. Your partner will not know your identity until they received your quilt. If you need to get in contact with your partner ONLY do so through your swap Mama.

Group participation is mandatory. Please post photos of your WIP, and your completed quilt. Once you have received your quilt, post a pic of it, and be sure to email a thank you to your partner as soon as possible. Contact your mama to let her know when you send and when you receive. Comment on photos you like and join in discussions. This is a social group.

DUE DATE: The deadline for all quilts to be mailed is August 9th, 2011 (international), and August 23rd for those sending domestically .

Delivery confirmation is required, within the U.S or within your own country.

Also, DO NOT SEND TOO EARLY. Don't send your package BEFORE July 26th. If there is some reason you must, please contact your Mama first and discuss it with her.

If for any reason you cannot meet the deadline please let your Swap Mama know ASAP. If you communicate any setbacks with us, we can make sure things work out favorably for your partner, with no hard feelings.

One last thing, There will be no NEGATIVITY tolerated. If you are unhappy with your partner, for any reason, that needs to be a private matter between you and your Mama. She will take care of any issues that need to be addressed. Negative or whiny posts in discussions will be deleted immediately and its a good way to get yourself banned from the group. We are here to have FUN!!
