The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for May was green. It was exciting to think about my Civil War blocks because I could use that interesting "poison green".
But when I began thinking about what to do for my little boy charity quilt, I was at a loss. I looked through my green 2-1/2" strips and was not inspired. They were all olive greens, suitable for use in my usual color palette, but not for a child's quilt. There were no primary or leaf greens to be found. I finally thought of my Christmas stash and found some better greens there, more of a forest green. Who knew shades of green had so much personality? Some little rail fence blocks later and a cute "wheels" print and I had a flimsy. This paragraph makes it sound so easy, but the truth is those green and gray blocks were stuck to the design wall for two weeks, waiting for inspiration to strike.
I found a cute dinosaur print for the backing at Sew Sweet on Saturday so I'm ready to finish it after I return from my vacation.
I will attempt to link to SoScrappy.http://superscrappy.blogspot.com Be sure to follow the link party to more RSC fun.
