Another Swap

I got in!
I have only recently been made aware of the phenomenon that is Doll Quilt Swaps and number 11 has just started - go HERE  and HERE to have a look at what it is all about.
So it seems that it can be tricky to make the cut, especially with not much swapping experience so, with just one, recently under my belt, I feel rather lucky.
I have been allocated my secret partner, spent several hours "stalking" her flickr photos and favourites and am quite excited about it all.
The finished quilt is to be no more than 9" on any one side, and no bigger than 18" on any one side. Teeny.
I have played about on EQ6, as usual, and come up with a few ideas to suit "my brief" - that is the important thing to remember I reckon, it is not necessarily going to be something I would choose for myself, I have a partner with firm likes & dislikes.
This is my plan so far.........I do have coloured versions but I think it would be quite obvious to my partner so I am keeping it under wraps for a wee while yet.
My plan requires serious fabric shopping, I don't think I have anything suitable...lol
