Wanna help me make a quilt?

Okay, so the other day I had a brilliant idea for a really fun project that could involve all of my blog friends and readers. One of my goals for the year is to make a quilt. I've always wanted to but never really tried to attempt it until now. I thought it would be really fun to make a blog quilt using pieces of fabric from all of you!

I'd like to invite all of my blog friends/readers to send me a 6x6 inch square of fabric. I would love it if you could stitch your name or blog name onto your piece of fabric (of course if you don't have time I understand). You're welcome to embroider anything you want onto your fabric or add any decorations...it's totally up to you! When you send your square, please let me know your name, blog name, and blog link so I can say thank you! :] If you'd like to send in a square for the quilt, please email me at heymissindie@gmail.com for my address. All squares will be needed by the end of  March.

Once I receive everyone's fabric squares, I'll get to quiltin' and when it's finished I'll post a bunch of pictures and links to everyone who contributed a square. I'm so excited to start this project and have something tangible that will remind me of all of the lovely people I've met through blogging. XO, mandypants Pin It

  2. This is exciting. I started making a quilt with all my old clothes that I had sentimental reasons to hang onto, but didn't fit or were too old to wear. This might be the kick start I need to finish it. Only after I've got you square ready Mandy!
