Park City Girl is holding an online festival of quilts this week and has asked readers to blog about their favorite quilts they’ve made. She’s got over 500 entries so far – wow! I’ve only made two real, completed quilts, so far – a Bento Box baby quilt and a Cowpoke baby quilt. They were both great fun and I was really proud of both, but one of my favorite quilts I made was only 4 inches by 6 inches. It was a postcard quilt that I designed to look like a cherry blossom branch.
This little quilt, unfortunately, has been lost. It was part of an unsuccessful swap where I never heard from the swapper if it arrived, and I never received anything back. It happens sometimes, but I still enjoy swaps. You can read more about how I designed the postcard, and my inspiration photo on my old blog:
- My First Fabric Postcard (March, 2008)
So I don’t leave this post on a sad note, check out some of the other crafts I’ve made by clicking on the Crafts tab up above. I’ve updated it to include some of my recent projects.

I love small quilts and this is lovely, such a shame your good work received no return from the swapper, as you say, it happens. Lovely quilt story.

Ewww. I used to do swaps. They were so much fun when people participated. But like you, there were some times I put in a lot of work and never got anything back, down to a note. So sorry that had to happen to you. I’m glad you have a picture of it, though! I really think it’s super cute.

This is a wonderful tiny quilt. I really like all the buttons.
What a delightful miniature quilt. I love all the thought you put into finding such an eclectic range of buttons that really appear to be blossoming right there and then. Your quilt is still out there somewhere, brightening up a bit of the world.
