What about thinking of wall hangings for spring season instead of a quilt? We could do BOTH swaps at the same time! Wall hangings could be four 12" blocks or we could challenge ourselves to do nine 6" blocks. Perhaps the springtime flower theme (if that is what we would like to do) could be the 12" blocks, and we could do the red, white and blue - great colors for everyone - in the 6" blocks. Thoughts?

Ooooohhhh!!! One at a time, please!! Us full time employed people have a hard enough time doing one pattern.

Im still a beginner so I would rather stick with any pattern we each chose and just have a certain color theme. I think red white and blue would be fun, but spring colors are fabulous as well. :) Im in for either of those two.

We could do pastels (or some other springy combo such as purple/green, green/pink, etc.) to be due March 31st.
And then a red/white/blue swap to be due May 31st.
If we decide to do this, we can maybe set up a vote for what springy/pastel combo we want to do.
