I occasionally swap mini quilts in the Mini QT Swap group I'm in on Flickr. The gals in this group always do great work so I'm never nervous about swapping! The theme for the one I just did was "Circles & Curves". I picked the "January Block" by Lady Harvatine. I've had my eye on the block for quite some time and this was a great time to try it out.
The block is originally 12 inches. I needed it to be smaller in order to fit our measurement requirements. So I reduced it down to a 9 inch block. I'm pretty comfortable with curves but still this was a challenge. Slow sewing and pins were my friend!
I also tried my hand at some spiral quilting. Turned out pretty good.
I made a Boxy pouch as an extra for her. First time making one of those too. I used this tutorial from Pink Stitches.
My partner just got everything and loves it. Happy dance!

I'm not surprised your partner was happy to receive these! Both are beautiful! Love the fabrics you chose and your curves turned out perfectly. Nice work, Cindy!
