Put your sunglasses on - it's rainbow time

Well no-one is afraid of colour this time round so get your sunglasses on and have a look at these fabulous combos. Jenn (of all trades) has shown us these beauties:

Rachael (Rachaeldaisy) is never afraid of colour so we knew she'd be splashing out ith her doll quilt:

Leila (Where the Orchids Grow) has gone for a very similar look to Rachael:

Janice (Sewgirly) has also gone all rainbow on us but her lucky partner gets to choose between fabric lines:

And finally Karen (malama2006) has gone rainbow crazy and is already ten steps ahead of the rest of us with some cutting done and some layout under way.

In prehistoric and historic time, Inuit peoples wore flattened walrus ivory "glasses," looking through narrow slits to block harmful reflected rays of the sun.

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!!
