Bee Block Beginnings

The deadline to mail my 5 blocks for 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee is rapidly approaching.  I decided for this round that I would make a modified version of the Crossed Quilt Block.  The original is 10" unfinished and I need mine to be 12.5."   I made the first block (requested colors were pink, turquoise & gray with a Kona Snow background).  This is what it ended up looking like:

I like the wonkiness of the block, but I think for the 2nd block I'm going to make the center a little less wide and extend the sides.  This is a fun block to make I must say.
