I entered the Brit Quilt Swap Round 3 a little while ago. The details are to make a mini quilt, no bigger than 24" square. I have been thinking what to make for my partner, looking at her blog site, checking her Flickr photos and generally playing with options. Pretty early on I decided that my partner liked bright colours but in my little stash I really didn't have too much that fitted the bill. I therefore placed an order with Backstitch. Alice was very helpful in matching one of the klona bundles with a lucky rainbow bundle.
These are the gorgeous fabrics that dropped through my letterbox.

I wanted to use a skill that I had acquired at the FQ Retreat and so I have decided to make a porthole the central feature of my mini quilt.

I am now deciding on the next stage of my design... watch this space!
