I am wanting to make my niece, Shonna, who has cancer a quilt. They live a long way from me - 650 miles, so I don't get to see her much. However, I do talk and text. Her favorite color she said is earth green. What color is that???

I would think it is a deep rich forest green

every green I can think of.

Wow! I think I would ask her because I googled and it is not a pretty color. She may mean something different.

The earth is covered with grass, I would think it would be more like the green of grass. (?)

I would ask her what color that is to her :D:D:D

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.

Something with leaves?

That's what I'm thinking.

what about one that looks like leaves? and you could do them in various shades of greens and fall colors? with a lovely sandy colored or tan background?

How about Maple Leaf blocks in fall colors with a tan background fabric

Those sound pretty. She has a queen size bed. I know there is free patterns out there, I'll have to look up that pattern.

Connecting Threads has some beautiful lines along what she wants. Go to their website and look. I think a square in a square or something like a D9P would be great.
My heart goes out to her.

Sounds like she probably meant earth (tones) and greens. I like the D9P.

Don't think I'm ready for D9P in a Queen size yet...would do a block, but not whole quilt. Thanks for suggesting it though.
