May 15 is the mail date for the next swap I'm doing. I just finished the last of my 100 mini 9 patches today. These are 3.5 inch (3 inch finished) blocks. They are really cute and I've made several quilts from my collection of mini 9 patches. Two were wallhangings and one was a baby quilt. It's fun to have so much variety as the result of doing swaps. I'll send in my 100 blocks (10 of each one pictured) but I'll get back 100 blocks - all different. By swapping blocks, we extend and enlarge our wealth of fabrics as we get back all colors, patterns, and color combinations that would be difficult for any 1 quilter to collect.
I've also been making some extras to use in a craft class I'm teaching. We'll use these for little quilted ornaments. More on that later.

Would like to find out what group you belong to, to do the 100 mini exchange? Been scrap quilting for about 20 years, took a class from Country Threads then and was hooked. Someday would like to combine some of my tatting to make a crazy quilt. Have lot of idea and may get to them in a couple months when I retire. Happy quilting - Robert Kent, in northern Iowa.

The mini-9's are such fun! It's one of my favorite swaps.
Most of the swaps I do are through block_swaappers, a yahoo.com group. Block_swappers is a sub group of stashbuster, also a yahoo.com group.
