And they're off...

Partner emails went out to everyone in the Doll Quilt Swap yesterday over a 24 hour period, as we have mamas all around the globe.  A few participants are already feeling inspired and have kicked off with some hints as to where they are going.  Ethne (Flaming Stitches) has made a wonderful bird mosaic:
What to make my DQS10 partner - Birds?
Amy (Allie Kat Mom) has given us a hint as to the direction she's headed in.  Perhaps a quilt with a monument attached to the top?
My inspiration
Emedoodle has shown us her sketch pad with an array of ideas including "Raft with special thing" which has us all wondering what her special thing might be.
DQS10 - Ideas
Natalie Leppard has produced this gorgeous inspiration drawing: 
DQS10 idea

And finally Lily Rose has shown a tantalising pile of Innocent Crush, a very popular line in the DQS this round, together with a selection of possible solids.  I'd be happy if she just sent me what she's got in the picture - she doesn't even need to sew it together if she doesn't want.
