I can always help too! I will always be more than happy to make an extra!

You got me on the list too, right? :-) I, too would be willing to make an extra if needed. I'm really getting into this. :-)

BrendaB

I think that would be great. :-) Something to look forward to.

This is getting so exciting! I love all the little hints people are giving. Jennifer, I LOVE the Avery colors; can I be your partner please??? Chele, can I be her partner please, please??? (I know, you draw the names out of a hat but I just had to ask. Please nobody beat me up. I know you wanted to ask too!) Brenda, like I have said before, these little quilts are a gift from the heart and hand of you and your partner. Lots of thought and love go into each one and I don't know about anyone else, although I think our thoughts would be all the same, but I don't sit and critique every stitch, matching seam and triangle point. Rather I see the time spent in pattern and fabric selection, the hours spent cutting, piecing and quilting it, the excitement in figuring out just the perfect words to put on the label and just the right little bit to add extra to the package to make my partner smile. That's what these little quilts are. Your creation is perfect, just the way it is. Aren't we always our own worst critics? Go easy on yourself and enjoy the process. We should always be learning. My FMQ is getting so much better as I am working on these little kitty quilts for the rescue shelter. I have this picture in my head of little Cinnamon laying on her quilt thinking "boy, those stitches could really be a bit more evenly spaced but I feel so cozy that I don't even care. She loves me enough to make me something that is mine forever". February is almost over, March begins. Spring is almost here, yeh! Happy quilting, dear friends.

thank you, Wendy. The more I learn about the process, the more excited I am to participate. I know I will cherish whatever I am sent. I never thought of making little quilts to learn new blocks, etc., but I have already learned so much and tried new blocks and techniques. I was so excited after the first one, I already have my second one ready for the March swap. It was so much fun to work on. Like you said, it comes from the heart and the whole time I was thinking of what I thought my partner might like. Of course, there is plenty of time, so if I get a partner whose preferences are different than the quilt I finished, I will keep it for another swap and make a new one. Thank you all for the encouragement. I'm looking forward to many swaps in the days to come. :-)

Nope, no hints, but it sure is cute!
There is a little wonkyness on the back, but hubby says it looks fine. I tried to fix it, but it won't come out......but it's still cute!!
