COVERED TIN SWAP, 2012

In the summer of 2012, Crazy Quilting International held a tin swap.  The idea was to take an Altoids tin, or something similar, and cover it in crazy quilting.  Participants were also challenged to finish the interior and perhaps include some “goodies” for their swap partner.  There were a lot of participants, but not everyone posted their pictures. You will agree, however, that the ones shown below are lovely and clever!

Lovely work by an unnamed stitcher
