This is my month of Jen's Color Challenge! This month is the Ruby-crowned Kinglet or the color olive green.
This is a wonderful block and not as hard as you might think! I think a whole quilt of this block in different colors would be so beautiful!
I like to match up the threads to each months block so that if I decide to quilt it with the coordinating threads I already know what colors I need. My go to thread is Aurifil 40wt. The bottom thread color is 2887 Very Dark Olive and the second is 2890 Very Dark Grass Green, but I think 2892 Pine would be a better match. Sounds like a good reason to buy more thread!
Head to Jen's blog to get the directions for this months block and then to the other fine quilters for their blocks

Good morning Sheila! I really love the fabrics you chose for this block. I would LOVE to make a whole quilt using this block in different colors. Especially the way you chose two different shades of olive. This might be a project I need to put on the sooner than later burner. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI know! It was a fun block to make and I'm thinking of making it go from one color to another from upper left corner to lower right...a rainbow quilt.
