Sewing the Greens

This week I added four more trees to the Rainbow Jungle -


Here are all the January trees.

I think the trees need lots of contrast for the best effect, so I've been using both dark and light greens, plus a bit of yellow snuck its way in there, too!

Stitched up a few more green Northern Lights blocks for my "Mellow" quilt - scrappy light greens, plus blues, and grays.


And a crumb block in light and bright green bits - 


This one joins the others in my crumb block bin - there are 12 blocks in it right now that measure about 10 x 7 inches.  I could probably make these forever...


Meanwhile, still quilting - and getting closer to the end!

    I really like those Northern Lights in the Mellow shades.
    I'm ready to move out of my green scraps and on to the next color!

    So many fun projects in the works! Love your mellow northern lights blocks. That crumb block reminds me I have a handful of bright green parts waiting to be sewn together. I might get one more this month before it changes colors.
