I am so excited about this swap!

It is USA only due to the size of the swap.

Also you MUST have a rating of 5.00 to join.

This swap is for a lap size quilt! How exciting!!

The size will be 36" X 48" plus binding/boarder!

The quilt will be the "quilt as you go" quilt by Jenny from Missouri Star Quilt Company.

Fabric is senders choice but lets do something bright and cheery. Colorful and fun! Use big strips and small strips.

It is senders choice how you want to edge it!

Use nice cotton fabric, a batting, and a nice cotton fabric backing.

Please ~ if you have any questions just let me know.

You will have 3 weeks to sign up and 5 weeks until you need to mail it out. You can start right away, you don't need to wait for partners to be assigned.

I hope you are as excited as I am to create this awesome lap quilt for our partners. I love this idea cause it is a perfect size for throwing over your feet when you are all curled up to a good book!

Does it have to be made with strictly 2 1/2" strips, or a jelly roll? Can it be made with other sized strips as long as they are straight, or can it also be made like a strip quilt with different sized strips and a little wonky?

I love this idea but was wondering if any one knows the best way to ship this size quilt and around how much it would be?

Flat rate boxes from the post office work great for shipping. This size quilt should fit in one of the boxes.These boxes can be tracked.as they travel to there destination.

I have a lovely ROW quilt pinned to my living room wall. There are 7 9" rows by 45" length. My row has 9 paper pieced flower blocks. Well, they also can be cut as triangles, squares and rectangles, etc. The background fabric is white-on-white with red, yellow and green flowers.
Enjoy in the fun-
