My panel has arrived from Candis.

 I was so excited to get home and there was a parcel at my front door. Yes, it had arrived. The wait is over. All the way from the USA. I couldn’t wait to get inside and cut open the bag (very carefully though).

Isn’t this just stunning. All that paper foundation sewing. 

THANK YOU CANDIS....

And there was a little bit extra. Some leftover fabric too.

Now here are the two swap quilt tops side by side. My intentions will be to make them the same size and I will put them on my single beds in the spare room. They may even up with my grandsons in future years.

These were 2 wonderful swaps which were a delight to receive. I will be watching out for when the next one is later in the year.

My panel quilt swap with Candis USA

 The way this swap work to help with postage costs and time. We both bought a panel for the other person and continued to work on it without the person knowing what we bought. It was to be a total surprise.

The only rules were ... put to 3 borders and none of which are to be larger than 8” wide.

Well on my recent trip I bought the panel I wanted to use and some fabrics

Pulled some extra fabrics

I started cutting and sewing squares together

And had a play with some delectable mountain blocks.

Got this all sewn up and then it was on to the borders.

Had a play with the corners

And finished up with this.

I am so happy with the results

I posted if on to the USA and it has been received.

This was the message I got.
