skill builder quilt along

i came across a 'skill builder quilt along' (see the link icon to the right somewhere -->) and today i finally pulled together some fabric which i'm going to use. i think i'll stick with the bluey-pink hues. here's what i picked out:

and i followed along and did the first square. nice and easy to begin with; a log cabin. not bad. i think i stretched the pink strips a little since they are a little puckered there...

i'm looking forward to some of the more complicated squares. i'm excited to learn some new skills as well as perfect my existing skills. :)
