Getting a start on a finish

Today, I started work on making the backing for my niece's wedding quilt. I don't have an absolute plan, I am improv piecing with the signature blocks.  It will be a surprise to me when it is finished!  I love improv piecing.

 I joined up with Sheila @ Sheila's Quilt World for her recent Fall themed postcard swap.  I have been given my swap partner's name and I have checked out her blog to get a few ideas of what kind of postcard she may like.  I have a good idea of what I will make for her.  Thanks to Sheila for organizing this fun swap.  It is always great to get to make a new quilty friend.

Speaking of swaps...my awesome little guild, the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild, had a zippered pouch swap at our recent meeting.  Here is the pouch that I came home with.   Love it!  I already have it filled with all my fabric markers.  I didnt get a photo of the one that I made to swap, my camera had been on the blink.  Maybe Anja, who chose my pouch will have a nice shot of it that I can use.  Stop by her blog and see her latest quilt top, Grey Square Scramble.   I am in love with it! 

Hope you had time to do something quilty today!
