The thinking is that the next
BTRS swap will be the easy lap quilt. We'll buy our own fabric, mail it to our swap partner, and then s/he (who are we kidding... she) will sew it all up and mail it back. At first I didn't really like this idea; what if I spend $$$ on Amy Butler or Heather Bailey and then hate the quilt? But then I realized... better I end up with the quilt after spending that money than buying them for someone else and mailing a finished quilt off, never to be seen again. [And this has NOTHING to do with previous swaps or partners. A quilt is a lot more involved than handbags or home crafts!]
So, I'm starting to think about what I want my quilt to look like. It'll be great for autumn on the couch. Orange? Red? I put together this mosaic of previously done quilts as inspiration. I am loving #4 and #5. Be prepared for several 'I'm considering this fabric' posts in the future.

hm. I'd love to see your collage, but there's a funny icon there instead.... looking forward to the swap!
