SWANS

Last night we had our  "ugly fat quarter exchange" (http://dallasmodernquiltguild.blogspot.com/2011/05/ugly-fq-swap.html) at the Dallas Modern Quilt Guild meeting.  I am always amazed at what our members create.  I had originally gotten a polka dot fat quarter as my "ugly" but a rumbling of discontent among the members took place....whispers of "that looks like it belongs in your stash" etc., etc.  To stop the backlash and quell the angry mob (!), I picked another fat quarter courtesy of Sarah (Pink Pixie).
Oh yea, underwear!

Hats, boots and mittens

Yippy...underwear again!
 This is the little quilt I created using the "ugly" fat quarter
My first effort at paper piecing (unintentionally wonky)...pattern from Sarah Fielke's book
