I got to talk to my niece and found out what she meant and it was nothing what I thought it was.........she meant fall colors! She said she liked all greens and earth tones like fall colors but she had said earth green not earth tones. Not anything like what I was thinking, so that helps a lot! Now any suggestions on what block or pattern to use? I don't do as much piecing as I would like and I'm still learning so I don't need anything coomplicated.
