I made one mini quilt for the swap, a postage stamp, and being somewhat new to quilting I am very excited about how it turned out. So much so that I am having trouble with the thought of parting with it. LOL! So I made a yo-yo quilt and I’m really lovin that too! What’s a girl to do? I guess I’ll make more quilts!
Love that you started Frans! I too have been working away on mine and might need to make another one to match my partners colors. I can’t wait to see what you whipped up!
