http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=296024.0This swap is to make a mini quilt for your partner! We are only going to swap the mini quilt itself, no extras so we can focus on making the quilt. The size of the quilt should be between 1 and 2 feet square, with any size, shape, and dimensions that fits within those parameters. So 12 x 18 inches is ok, and so is a 15 inch circle, but any one side shouldn’t be smaller than 12 inches or longer than 24 inches.
Use whatever methods you want to make a lovely art quilt for your partner! Piecing, embroidery, hand dying fabric, adding beads or charms, etc.
Since this is a longer swap I want everyone to know that they need to keep in contact both with the organizer and their partner. I’m not going to implement anything as rigid as weekly check-ins, but post try to post to the thread at least every couple of weeks and please don’t leave your partner or myself hanging if we pm you! Please make sure you post in this thread for updates as soon as you sign-up/think about signing up.

Are you someone that really wants to have one of these themes crafted for you, or are you ok if your partner does a little stalking to come up with other themes you might like?
Are you someone that is really helped by having a set list to craft from, or do you prefer to be a little freer and do some research/stalking?
Would you be ok with your art quilt containing 3d elements such as beads, sequins, charms, etc? This might have to do with how you plan to use it.
Do you plan on or think you might possibly use 3d elements in the art quilt you make?
Do you have an idea what you would use your art quilt for?
If yes, is there anything specific that the sender needs to know/do? (ie, a loop put on it would be good if you plan to hang it, please don’t use 3d elements if it’s for a table, etc)
Do you have any allergies severe enough to prevent you from being partnered with someone? (ie, if you are only a tiny bit allergic to cats like me, don’t put it down, but if someone sending something from a house with a cat will make you sick, please list it)
