I had an opportunity to participate in a mini swap amongst the Canadian Modern Quilt Guilds. I used Kona solids to make the Colour Wheel Wall Hanging pattern by Mari Martin for Connecting Threads.
I had the top finished in early September, and then Hurricane Dorian hit the weekend I had scheduled for quilting. Two days without electricity messed up my routine for several weeks. I am late getting this in the mail, but I hope my partner understands.
This is the mini I received from Maureen in Ontario. I love the binding fabric. It gives the appearance of a wavy edge.
Maureen handquilted this with lots of colours.
Here's a close up of her beautiful hand work.

I like the mini you made and I'm sure your partner will understand. I too like that binding and would love to find some for myself.
ReplyDeleteBoth of the minis are lovely. I'd never have thought to use the wavy binding fabric, but it does give an amazing illusion.
ReplyDeleteLove both of these minis -- what a fun swap!
ReplyDeleteWow, that color wheel is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are awesome Anja! I'm curious about this swap as I don't think anybody in our guild knew about this.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous minis, Anja!
ReplyDeleteI am betting your swap partner understands and will love her quilt. And what a lovely one she made for you. Her hand quilting is fabulous!
