It's fun trying to guess who, from this group of 60+
sewers, made what!
The maker of the pillow with the most votes receives
her first choice, and so on!
This is the pillow I made...
inspired by a mini quilt I saw here!
I used my Echo scraps and Kona Ash.
It's now off to its new home,
and I'm waiting to see which one is mine?
It's a shame MrPnP was partial to this one......
Typical!
Happy sewing!

I love your cushion - looks like your Echo scraps were put to good use! It is often surprising what can be achieved with a limited quantity and a bit of imagination.
What a fun way to have a swap. I hope what you receive is as lovely as what you made because this is really perfect
Suz, This is a really beautiful cushion. Whoever receives this will be so happy!!
You can always make another. It is beautiful so I am not surprised himself was partial.
Beautiful! Why are they always partial to stuff we give away and more critical of the things we make for keeping? Sillies... :)
Oh it's beautiful! Each round of the MQPS I plan to make one and participate in the swap, but I haven't finished on yet.... Wish I had now!
Beautiful! Who wouldn't adore getting this!
Great idea; I would be paranoid about having to keep mine as it was ranked last by everyone!
Love yours!
Wow that sounds like such a fun idea, is another one coming up?
Such a gorgeous pillow, you can't go wrong with Echo! =D
Of course he was! It is fabulous! I love this pillow with the little bursts of echo! Someone is going to be smiling from ear to ear when they see this on their doorstep!
I love this kind of swap, I'm hoping I can join in at some stage in the not too distant future.
That is a fabulous use of scraps Suz, it's lovely I can understand why the Mr would like to have kept it.
Love this pillow so much!!
You've outdone yourself here. It's gorgeous.
Gorgeous pillow Suz....

Love the pillow! Today, I posted that I'm leaning toward making a quilt with this method for my next leader/ender project...great minds think alike, I guess!
my gosh it will be hard to choose I bet!!
ps. shh just whispering 'I've lost you again!' grrr!
Have a nice weekend xx
This is such a beautiful pillow!
I love this pillow, maybe it is coming my way?
Absolutely love this Suz!!
BEAUTIFUL! It's amazing how you can make gorgeous things like this with your little scrappy bits. Well done.
I love these little flashes of colour. I'd like a whole scrappy quilt like this. Would that be too huge a project for this technique? Pardon me for asking but being rather newish to quilting, I am constantly amazed at how long the various steps in quilting take me. Now when I see that someone has just made a cushion, I start to wonder if that isn't because a big quilt is just too much of a commitment for a particular block or technique. Of course, it's always possible that someone just wanted a cushion, which might be the case here since it looks like a relatively easy design. Still, I don't trust my own perceptions.
