We are all busy The activity on the Instagram hashtags has been increasing as we are coming closer to the end of the first UK Mini Swap.

" quilts.  Here are some of the ones which caught my eyes (and which ended up OK with my camera phone).  This is part of the BACK of the quilt above! Sorry ladies and gents if yours is not included, but I struggled somewhat with the lighting. I also completely failed in writing down (or taking photos of) the names, makers and stories behind each of the quilts.
