Swaps!

This week I haven’t done much sewing. However, I did get back my loot from a couple swaps I participated in. The Small Quilt Talk group exchanged 6″ charms in Civil War Repro fabrics.

And the Quilt of Valor group on Facebook exchanged 12″ blocks.

You never know for sure what you will end up with when you do a swap and you have to decide going in whether that is okay or not. You will get all skill levels participating. Sometimes you need to trim or border blocks. I have been known to take apart and restitch blocks. But I am okay with that! It is fun! There is a camaraderie and the surprise is worth it. I like to send my stuff in way early and then I am delightfully surprised when I get squishies in the mail 😄.
Now I need to figure out what to do with these little bits of loveliness!
Until next time…
