Green Deco

 

I decided to make a Green Deco quilt to match the Spring Birds quilt of the birds with the light green backgrounds. 

The quilt is from Amy Walsh & Janine Burke's book, "Colorful Quilts for Fabric Lovers," and has two very simple blocks. I needed a lot of strips, so I cut a collection of lightish light greens.

Here are some of my first blocks, thrown on the design wall in no particular order. I already know I am going to like this, but it will look a lot better once I have a lot more blocks.

For the last day of school, my granddaughter decided to wear her "very best favorite dress" - the dress I made for her using Seminole Patchwork. You can click the link for my tutorial on basic Seminole patchwork.

Needless to say her description of the dress made my day!

Quilt in Action

We're supposed to have snow her in New Hampshire today and tomorrow, but it's sunny in California.

This is my DGD with the quilt I made for her as a baby.

I gift my California family with a membership to the South Botanic Garden each year. These pictures were taken there.

How cool is this?

Then again, this is pretty cool too.  Pink and Green, one of those perfect combinations. Quilt and Granddaughter, nice pair also.
