Here are my first three blocks.  My inspiration went darker not lighter when choosing the green… .. aka used the closest greens I had in my stash.  Hope they past the test....

I didn’t realize it until I tried it this year, but if I put blocks on the floor, one of my cats will appear and mess them up. So I put them up on the temporary design wall to get a photo of all of them. If you look closely, you may notice that I chose my third fabrics–in addition to the Greenery-inspired green and the tan and pink backgrounds that are inspired by the palette of colors that Pantone predicts we’ll be seeing in Spring/Summer of this year in Fashion. I’m donating the chances for these blocks … while...

Here are nine blocks for February.  I went to the Pantone website to be sure I had the right tone for “greenery.” Maybe it’s the word, maybe it’s the color, that led me to think about flowers — hence the floral fabric for the quilter’s choice portion of the...
