I got my quiltlet done tonight for the Miniature Booty Swap. I'm running a bit behind (today was the mail date), but it'll go out tomorrow so it should be A-OK. This swap was a kitchen quilt swap - and in addition to the quiltlet, we had to come up with a dishtowel to coordinate. I made a little crocheted one with variegated red/white yarn, to be used as a dishcloth for washing dishes rather than drying them. The yarn started out making kind of a cool pattern, but then it changed. I tried to square it up when done, but alas, no luck. I hope it's okay!
My partner said she has retro red, white, and yellow in her kitchen, so when I saw the little bee fabric (a 30's repro I actually LIKE) I knew it was perfect! I like vertical layouts on quilts, but don't usually make them, so I decided to do it here. I left the inner columns (note: I *hate* that quilting instructions call them "vertical rows"!) shorter on purpose, to draw attention to the vertical aspect. It is just quilted in the ditch, and backing fabric is the WoW of the front, which has little line hearts on it.
I'll post a pic
