The McKinney Modern Quilt Guild recently completed a Pillow Scrap Swap. Here's how it worked:
We each brought a gallon zip lock bag filled with some of our favorite scraps. At the May guild meeting, we swapped the bags around and each of us went home with someone else's scraps. Then, we had a month to make a 16 inch pillow cover for our partner, returning it to her at the June meeting. We were also challenged to do something "modern".
When I saw the beautiful scraps in Catherine's bag, they spoke to me! I snatched it right up. Here is the pillow cover I made for her.....
I had a little of my usual fun on the back, adding some binding & ricrac to the open edge....

Those are two good looking pillow covers. I love the pops of red in your one. Awesome.
That was a great idea for a swap bee. I love the cushion you made and the one your received looks very nice as well :)
These are both so pretty! My modern guild is getting ready to do a mini quilt swap with the Ann Arbor MQG, so that should be fun! I'm anxiously awaiting my partner for that one.
Great pillows. Both of them.
Oh Ellyn I love both pillows. What a great idea for a swap.
I've been reading your blog for a little while now and just have to ask if you're referring to McKinney, TX??
I'm sure you hear this a lot but it is always been a dream of mine to quilt. Your work is just beautiful! It sounds like you had a really nice time at your swap, what fun! Have a great day!
