My first quilt was a purple King Size Turning Twenty Again. The pattern is easy to use Fat Quarters and half yard pieces. It has some green in it and has been on my bed for years. Can't seem to upload a picture. But a search for the Turning Twenty pattern will give you an idea of what it looks like.

BIG suggestion prewash fabrics with Synthrapol before using them. I did not know about Synthrapol years ago when I made my DD a queen size DWR quilt using greens with a cream center for the rings. I had prewashed all of the fabrics, but did not use anything to set the color. The first time the quilt was washed later some of the greens bled all over the cream. I have tried everything and all suggestions, but to no avail. I was devastated, I was still working at that time and it had taken me about 18 months to make this quilt. The quilt has never been dried in a dryer. I always prewash my fabrics but if it is a color that bleeds, I now use Synthrapol. Good Luck!

What a wonderful quilt show this has been. You all make it hard to decide. So far I am leaning towards Thousand Pyramids (never made one of those) or Triple Irish Chain - one of my favorites. I really need to keep it simple as my eyesight is not what it used to be. I have so many greens I could probably make both! Loved the Shakespeare in the Park as well as all the others. So much talent in this group.

I am sooo excited!!! I looked up the pattern for this and Amazon came up- and it showed that I bought the book back in 2011- totally forgot. Anyway, I just got rid of most of my books but I found this one on the shelf!!!! Now I can make this one up. Yours is so beautiful. Thanks for the reminder.

Green is not my "go to" choice but all of these suggestions are just outstanding. OMG I am glad I am not in the place of having to make a choice. They are all top notch ideas! I can't wait to see this great green quilt!
