IgMiniSwap ~ Sent and Recived

I seem to find myself a lot of Instagram these days. 

My lovely friends lured me into the IgMiniSwap and oh I was so excited I did.

My partner in Australia was Kay of Shocking Hocking was the lovely I got to stalk as I made a quilt for her.  She loves improv and reds.  

This so stretches my comfort zone..in all good ways.

I was glad to attempt new ideas and designs for me.

Okay I was also very very scared!








But I finally sat myself down and accomplished improv scrappy curves

Adding different strips and I was so glad to work on this. I even added different fabrics in the binding fabric.

Yes and some hangers...

Quilt Stats:

Pattern:  None - Improv with curves
Quilting: Machine quilted on my 1008 Bernina and a dabble of handstitching

I added a line of handquilting although it's not the "proper" technique.  I may have bought a craftsy class to help me with this.

Overall, I was so happy to send this away with my name on it.  Which I of course forgot my label...bahahaha.

Now the beauty of a swap is that I get something in return.

I had a partner that floored me with his quilting awesomeness.
This was made by travlis




Look at this beauty!

Look at all these y-seams

Look at the quilting.

I totally wish this were bigger for a lap quilt!  Is that bad :)

This is a fantastic addition to my mini quilt collection.

I am so happy to be part of the #igminiswap and part of #kaysgroup
