To
start this month’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge (participate or investigate at soscrappy) I made these little
Green Paint Box Blocks (from Oh Fransson! quilt along). Three were as much as I could do with the solid
scrap of green that I had.

There
are a few other solid greens in my scrap collection, so I’ll probably make a
few more Paint Box Blocks before the month is over. Which one should I use next?

I
seem to have a lot of green bits in my scrap stash; hopefully I’ll make a dent
in them this month. As I look through my green scraps some of them seem
so old, it might be a good time to cull the collection.
Some other words for green: emerald, apple,
aquamarine, chartreuse, jade, kelly, lime, malachite, moss, olive, pea,
pine, sage.

Chartreuse... I just love the sound of that. How about a nice bright lime green with the one on top? Great blocks. I love the use of a solid ... I think we tend to forget to use those and they really add interest and a resting place on quilt blocks. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteYes, some luscious words and connotations, I had a favourite auntie who drank Chartreuse. Thanks for the green vote, I'm leaning toward the lime as well.
DeleteWhat a great selection of green solids. The paintbox block is a great way to put them to good use.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know I had so many solid greens, until I started collecting my scraps this month. It will give me some variety with my Paintboxes.
DeleteI am a fan of Paintbox blocks/quilts, so I'm looking forward to seeing more! I know what you mean about older green fabrics - I'm trying to thin some from my stash as well.
ReplyDeleteThis challenge is great for sorting through the stash, and a little clean-out will be refreshing.
DeleteYou have a great selection of green solids to play with! I love all shades of green.
ReplyDeleteVery nice blocks, Edith! I like to see those bright greens paired with the softer colorways. Julierose
ReplyDeleteNice blocks. I like all your green solids. I like to mix solids with my prints.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like your Paintbox blocks! This is going to be a great quilt! I like Dolly's quote too, so true! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour Paintbox blocks are great. Love them!
ReplyDeleteI love your greens, they look so happy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great variety in your greens!
