square for Mardie and other projects

Here's my square for Mardie.  Sorry it's so late!

Polaroid quilt for Anna Claire for Christmas. Minky on the back. It's quilted in lines between the "pictures." I wish I had asked for a meander. But she LOVES it:

Two pillows for my sister:

Super-sized Swoon throw quilt for a friend for Christmas:

I joined a row-along in my quilt guild (which I won't do again).  This fox row is for a friend in the ward who lives on Red Fox Trace:

ideas please

 

Hi friends-
It won't be long until I am ready to topstitch but I don't know what to do.  Could you please share as many ideas as you can come up with?  I am not sure whether to avoid topstitching in the polaroids or avoid them.
Emily- please share your polaroid quilt.  I saw the top and it was amazing.  I'd like to see how you topstitched it. :) 
Thanks again to everyone who sent me fussy cuts.  I love them.

any more out there?

Hello Polaroid Swappers!
Many of us have received some really fun squares from becca, emily, liz, mardie and me.  We'd love to know if we can expect any more.  Below you'll see a list of the gals who said they'd like to participate when we first started.  Melissa is not in our group but saw our blog and wanted to participate.  I will see if I can contact her directly.  If you could let us know if you're squares will be coming that'd be great!  Thanks!!

the stack which must be divided

 

I went a little crazy with the rotary cutter.  For most fabrics I have enough for everyone, for some I'll have to divide and conquer.  Everyone will get at least 25 each.  No need to send me back the number I send you.  I had the fabric so I thought I might as well keep cutting.  If you don't like a few that I send you (or more than a few) neither one of us will feel bad that you don't use them all. :)

P.S.  I'm noticing a lot of birds! 

One more thing:  Melissa- I don't have your address.  Could I have it please?

say cheese!

Two, possibly three quilters have already expressed an interest in a polaroid swap so let's go ahead and get started and see who else joins in.  I found these examples here.

Here's a tutorial (unfortunately I saved the image but not the link to where it came from):

I've never organized anything like this before so if you have any suggestions, please share them!  For starters maybe we should tell each other how many we are willing to make for each person in the swap.  I'm not even sure how many to volunteer so I'll let someone else take the lead!

Thoughts:

2-3 per person?

if anyone is willing to trade more- great!  just say so.
