So I joined a swap...haven't done a swap outside of the SSCS for ages...this one is part of a yahoo group for Kathy Tracy's Small Quilt Talk...make your partner a small quilt...good-oh...how hard can that be...apparently, very!...first the agonising over fabrics and patterns...couldn't make a decision...then...light bulb!!!...
First epic fail...
Start something else...Second epic fail...
Time was a-ticking...
Third time lucky...went together without a hitch...final stitch in binding last Thursday night...entrusted to Aussie Post this yesterday afternoon for its trip across land and water...
What? where's the quilt...well, I can't show that yet can I...that would be telling if my lovely swap partner happens to stop by...these are the pieces resulting from the epic fails...
Happy Stitching...

Well, if those are the fails, can't wait to see the actual quilt. I'm sure it will be stunning.
beautiful selection of fabrics, I hope we will see the swapped mini very soon!
such pretty blocks in your fails pile. I hope you are going to salvage them?
Love your fabric choices
Hi Annette,oh i cant wait to see your mini quilt,love your fabric choices,hope you are enjoying your weekend my friend xx
love you fabric
fails one and two???? they look great! I think you are way to hard on yourself! happy for that you found one that worked! :)
Ha ha! You sound just like me! The agonising about the 'what to do' and then the 'changes of plans', I can so relate to! Glad it all worked out and your swap buddy will be delighted I'm sure.
Deciding what to make is often the hardest part of a swap. The scraps look good, so I think your partner is in for a treat.
Whatever you made , Im sure it was gorgeous...
Glad it finally went together for you. Love those fabrics
So you got the mini finished. Good on you.
Are those Kookaburras laughing at you
you got there in the end.... love the colours and looking forward to when you can show it to us...
