    Default Fabric for Grandmothers Flower Garden Quilt
    I am making a Grandmothers Flower Garden Quilt. Do any of you know the name or shade of green used in these quilts for the path? Thanks.

    Look at the 30's repro greens--that's what I've used.

    I used a green I bought from Log Cabin Quilts in Ravena NY; I think it was called poison green.
    Londa Van Derzee owns the shop - she's a great gal and very helpful.

    I used a 1930 repro fabric called Apple Green.
