A while ago, I joined up to something that I have heard much about and seen beautiful swaps. I joined the Doll Quilt Swap 12. I have not talked about it yet, because I have been learning the ins and outs about it. It is a huge swap and very well organized. For this round of the swap, our quilt has to include one of five blocks :
1.churn dash/shoofly
2.log cabin
3.drunkards path
4. N.Y. beauty
5.flying geese
As well, if we use a background fabric, it cannot be white or any variation of white. Our secret partner also has put in some requests of what she/he likes. I have had many ideas based on these parameters. I have spent some time in EQ6 working things out. Here is what I have so far.
My very first New York Beauty. I found a tutorial about this, as well as a New York Beauty Quilt Along at My Go-Go Life.
I am linking to WIP Wednesday at The Needle and Thread Network.

You are not only busy and productive, but also courageous to enter swaps and make complicated blocks. Stitch on!
I love the colours you're using. How big/little is the doll quilt supposed to be?
A great New York Beauty! Your partner will be thrilled!
oooh! sew these will be small! Nice block.
Great job with your NYB block! The colours work beautifully together. I've been too chicken to try a NYB, but there are so many gorgeous ones out there lately that I think I'll just have to get over it and just do it!
