So here it is..... the beginnings of my little quilt for the swap.
I went with a variation of the crazy 9-patch pattern. It is an easy block to sew and, in my opinion, visually pleasing. It might be a little "elementary" as far as quilt patterns go but I am still in the baby stages of learning. I hope my swap partner is open to my beginner indulges...

What's that you ask??? Yes....that IS two of the same fabrics side by side...UGH! I was hoping no one would notice. I really had to repress the OCD side of myself and not unpick the whole thing to fix this little boo-boo.

I am really loving the colors and how they "play" together. It reminds me of strawberry lemonade!!
