Lizzy House Mini Quilt Swap

I'm not sure how it happened but I got yet another amazing mini quilt from the last round of swapping!

I made this quilt to send away to my partner and I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

My outgoing pack looked like this.  I included a charm pack of all the Pearl Bracelets too.

This is the incredibly amazing quilt I received in return for the one I sent!  Can you believe it?  

I especially love the alley cat in the bottom right corner.  See how it looks like he is missing an ear?  It is really there, just a darker gray like the background.  Cute though.  

Even an orange one just like my Jack!

She also sent some tissue, an adorable cat note book and cat Washi tape. 

 I think I made out like a bandit!  Such a beautiful quilt.  

It is hanging on the wall in my sewing room even as I type this.  

Just look at all that Lizzy House gorgeousness!!!

The back was made with this wonderful green Hello Pilgrim fabric, so lush. 

 She even used LH fabric for the label.  

Thanks Megan, for sending me such an amazing mini quilt.  I just adore it!

Finish It Up Friday

I have a finish today.  

I am part of the Bitchesgetstitches swap.  

I showed you the trivet I made for that swap already.  

I decided to make a mini quilt for my partner.  

She didn't have much put in her Instagram feed for ideas so 

I just decided to make something I would love to receive.  

What else do you do right?  I finished the binding last night (after all the drama).  

So here is the mini quilt for my partner.  

I am really thrilled with how it turned out.  I did my own quilting.  

The geese were paper pieced from a pattern my friend Kelly has on Craftsy.  

You can see the stitchery better in this photo.  

I used metallic thread which makes the stitches look a little choppier but he is so sparkly!

This is the top all finished before I quilted it.

I am linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday post too.

What do you think of this?  Would you be happy to receive it as a mini quilt for your wall?
