Warm wishes is easy. When my friend wanted to make her first quilt we chose warm wishes. One hint: Cut the pig blocks after you have sewn together the strip sets. Measure and cut your pig blocks the size of your strip sets, not the size listed in the pattern. That way if your piecing is off a little the pig blocks can accommodate that.
Have fun! I am working on quilt #2 for my husband this year. The first one was lightweight and he has requested a heavier one for the winter. Spoiled isn't he!?
