What, exactly, are noodles you ask? I'll tell you. Noodles, in the quilting world, are 2 1/2 inch strips of fabric. Noodles are great for making beautiful quilt tops. I'm not sure about actual quilts, since I haven't quilted a noodle top yet.
I was reading through the quilting forum recently and read up on the noodle swaps that are coming for 2008. It reminded me of the swaps I participated in for 2007 and gave me a bit of a thrill thinking about the ones I hope to participate in for this next year.
I thought I'd share some pictures of tops I've made from noodles I received in several swaps. I participated in the Brights Swaps (2 different ones) and in the Brights Tone on Tone Swap and lastly, my favorite the Thirty's Swap.
Hope you enjoy the pictures...

I like your 30's quilt. I also like the brown fabrics you chose. Put together as HSTs they look great together.

No worries, we're behaving!!! :-P
HI MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like them both. Of course I love the bright cobblestones. I've been wanting to try making a braided quilt as you have done with the thirties prints, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
Sounds like fun! Both quilts are wonderful, but the top one is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
love love love the quilts! Hope you had fun on your date.
I can't believe what your naughty children did while you were gone. I'm truly sorry for you. hehe!
