February Swap: Mini Quilts!

NJMQG Mini QuiltCan you believe it is February already? We can’t, but February means an NJMQG swap and this month we’re excited to be swapping Mini Quilts! There have been a ton of mini quilt swaps happening on Instagram and we thought we’d join the fun, too!

Not a ton of rules for this swap, but here are some guidelines to help you:
– Quilts should be no smaller than 16” and no bigger than 24” on a side
– We encourage you to try a technique, color, or shape you’ve never tried before
– Don’t forget to label your quilt so the recipient knows who made it
– If you bring one to our next meeting on Thursday, February 26 (at 7PM at Rock Paper Scissors), you get to take one home!

Check out our Pinterest board for inspiration.

If you have any questions or concerns, leave a comment and we’ll address them!

The August Guild meeting is the 21st but there’s plenty of time to whip up a pincushion for our next swap!

No color restrictions or rules we only ask that you make a pincushion that you would LOVE to receive.

We’ve put together an inspiration board on Pinterest to get your creative juices flowing.

Can’t wait to see what you bring to the swap table later this month!
