Big T in Greens!

Something I saw inspired me to think green. Then I saw this pattern and the green really took hold. I found two green prints in my stash and it became evident really quickly which one went with my “solid” green leftovers. I really liked how it looked in my brain as a center medallion in a large bed of white. After a quick consultation with my design team (Mom, Aunt, and sisters) I made more and pushed it to a queen size. Then I had to ask a friend how do you figure giant triangles for on point blocks? She found a great tool! And the best thing it worked! https://www.allpeoplequilt.com/sites/allpeoplequilt.com/files/uploads/cutting_setting_squares_and_trianges.pdf Then I made myself crazy by putting a tiny strip of white in the borders. Why am I posting before it is finished? Because I am planning on some interesting repetition of the piecing in the quilting; and it is only half formed in my brain so those types of projects can sit for a year in my to-do pile as the designs percolate.

Blue Stars

Also from my Mom's stash were these three fabrics (blue prints) in fairly large quantities. Using the same pattern as from Granddaughters quilt, but putting one of the prints in the center. I ordered by guess and by gosh a white background and sort of turquoise print. Yeah! It worked well enough that with all these was able to get a queen-sized quilt. Rose Hook in the white and various point to point patterns in the print areas. Older sister helped pick quilting designs. Outer border is a repeat of the Rose Hook.
