Modern She Made Swap ~ In Progress

The Modern She Made Swap over on Flickr that I mentioned in my post not too long ago is now in full swing. I received my secret partner information and have been stalking her website and her Flickr account for ideas and clues as to what I could make for her. I have settled on an item, fabrics and have a rough idea of design. This is the kind of project that I like to design as I go. So here are a few pictures of my progress so far...



All the essential tools gathered and little squares cut for marking and sewing.


Prints sewn to whites up one side and down the other to make lots of little half print/half white squares.


Having fun laying out some of the newly pressed squares, which measure about 2 inches at this point. This layout is one I have been wanting to try, but I have not quite settled on it yet. I might try out some other designs with these squares once I get the oranges and pinks pressed too.

And what about that green fabric there in the background? Hmmm, what could I use that for?

One of the requirements for this swap is that the main gift item must have a circle somewhere in the design. Do you think my project fills the bill so far?

I had another picture of my work in progress that I was going to share here too, but I noticed that on my drawing, my secret partner's name was plain as day! Ooops! I am planning to embroider her name on this item as well.

So tell me, if you were my secret partner, would you like what you see here?

Happy Stitching!
