CRO, I'm waiting for pictures too. Like 'measure twice and cut once', I like to 'sew once and seam-rip never'. :-p

OK. Here we go. I haven't finished sewing them together completely but this will give you the idea:

each quilt block cut per instructions. One pink/neutral and one brown/neutral.

I switched the strip units. The brown/neutral go to the pink squares and the pink/neutral go to the brown squares. Keep the center four patch in it's original position so the fabrics alternate correctly.

What does everyone think??? ((not looking for compliments - - - only on the switch technique))

Hey Jane! That looks like a nice plan! :-) So, will you be swapping individual blocks, so we get variety? Or will you be swapping pairs? I prefer a variety. If you decide on pairs, that's ok too, but will show in the project that there are duplicates (well, if all blocks are used for one project).

I'm thinking of swapping individual blocks - - - -more variety. Opinons??

Jane just sent you a PM, thought in my printed listing that you sent out it was Asian next after the Civil War and then brown and pink or like I say choc covered cherries. Where am I at???? and what pattern???

Good thing I waited for pictures. I thought originally it was supposed to be a pink WITH a brown.

Jaba, lol That made me laugh. I think May is Asian with black. I'm just looking forward to the June swap... I have these prints in my stash that I thought would be fun to share when Jane named it Chocolate and Cherries! It's Chocolate Truffles by Sue Winget. But pink and brown is very cute for a baby girl quilt too... I love that new line with the cowgirl motifs: Michael Miller, Fandango --- https://www.etsy.com/listing/1521408...?ref=related-4 And, I also like pink/brown polka dots with floral prints! Too many choices! :-)

April - Civil War - regular D4P pattern
May - Asian - regular D4P patter
June - Chocolate Covered Cherries (CCC) - Argyle D4P
July - Batiks Revisited - regular D4P pattern

Hope that helps!

Only the strip units are switched. I just noticed in the 2nd pic I posted - the brown/neutral strip on the left should be turned the other way. Hope everyone sees that. ((my mistake)). I will re-post the correct placement for the June swap.

Givio - great fabrics. That top left fabric is fabulous!!!

Cro -

The quilt block does end up being a pink/brown/neutral combination. It's all in the switching.
