I know what you mean about colors, the light hearts in this blocks are actually whitish with avocado green texture, well, not texture but you know how batiks are colored. I haven't used this fabric in manynof my blocks, but I think I used it in one.
Oh yes, here
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-108524-5.htm bigger piece shows the color better.
How is your quilt going? Can I come visit and touch yet? :XD:
oh, ok, it does look whitish with a green texture-y print, if the light hits it right.
It shows in this picture, the green not as much in the other one, but it sure is a nice complement to your other fabrics.
all of yours go together so well, are they a line?
now, about my quilt...I know I have been super duper slow on it, but here's the nitty gritty: first I have been through the "meno" wringer in the past year or longer...really bad at times.
Ok, so thousands of us are doing that, but it ain't nothing to sneeze at.
Then there's the hubs, and the grands, and the m and now I have a niece about to pop.
She is due November, but she went early last time.
Long story, but she is at her parents, her sister is there, but complications, she is in a cottage and sister has a baby and can't keep her 15 month old while she goes to doctor and/or in labor.
My mom is worrying herself sick. She is 76 and basically blind.
I am trying to help.
This girl needs help.
Her parents work out of town. She may have to call me on cell, say she is in labor, I will have to make a mad dash to get baby and possibly rush her to the hospital.
I don't live next door ;)
ok, the upside to all this is: we are doing a reno on sewing room and I will have lots more room etc. to work.
I will be able to get busy and try to catch up as much as possible, in and around taking niece to doctor once a week till baby comes.
It's possible I may have to stay over there for a week or two, in the daytime to help her get on her feet with two small ones.
There is no one else.
What a jam to be in.
I, however, am looking forward to the new digs, "so to speak", and getting my "preshus" made for our new bed we got a couple months back.
One of my grandbabies is so excited bc I will have both machines set up so she can sew with me.
She can draw on the computer and I am saving them...possibly to transfer to fabric ;)
So, whoever it was that mentioned starting with us, now...i hope they do. They won't be behind at all!
Thanks for answering my questions, candi, hope I didn't talk your ears off with my stuff :lol:
if I did, they will grow back! ;) :lol:
