Apparently green is hard for me. Who knew?? I had no idea that it was a difficult color for me to work with. I love green, but I discovered that I don't have a lot of fabric in that shade. Pulling and coordinating fabrics took forever. Really.
# 56 - Maple Leaf, #31 - Evening Star, # 55 - Linoleum
I ended up doing three this week instead of two. It took me so long to come up with these three fabric combos, so I just made them all. I had a couple of fabric scraps that were tiny, the gnomes and the people, that I really wanted to use. They weren't big enough to use on point (which is how they will be sewn in the quilt), but I decided to use them anyway. I really like both of them, and that is all I have.
Note to self: buy more green fabric!! Head over to Amanda's and see her blocks for the week. They are gorgeous as always, and she used a bunch of my favorite fabrics. I wish I could steal her blocks and add them to mine. :)

ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, Angela! Can't wait to start my own....
ReplyDeleteThe gnomes and little people are a darling touch! I love your blocks. So bright.
ReplyDeleteOh, those little gnomes are just adorable.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I could help you out with some green--I have tons! If you're interested, let's talk. :)
i think we should have a farmer's wife scrap swap. I have TONS of green, literally every shade. What I'm needing (and not finding)is aqua blue and orange scraps/strips. Seriously, maybe i'll post it on the group. hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteYou may have struggled to come up with these but you came up with three winners when you did make them. Love the one with orange in it. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love green too - you need more green in your life! Especially zingy lime colours! Your blocks are lovely and you have the makings of an I-spy FWQ with all your little fussy cut centres!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you used for the blocks. They are wonderfull. thanks for sharing! And You forgive my rudimentary English.
ReplyDeleteGreen is hard. I just bought some green fat quarters to integrate into my blocks.
ReplyDeleteThose little kids are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my, the little folks are so cute I can't stand it! Who's the designer? I work at a modern fabric shop and haven't seen those!!
ReplyDeleteI adore your leaf block. And the 'gnomes' are just way to cute!
