However, I'm not sure the quilting world is ready for this particular green. There are hardly any fabrics out there in 'emerald'. Weird. You can find lots of limes and citrus greens (which I love) but not much of this blue-ish green colour which is almost Jade. I even got a groan from the quilt guild I'm in when I suggested that we make something as our challenge with this colour! It may grow on people as the year progresses but saying that, I never did like the Tangerine from last year!
Never mind. I remain undeterred by the fact it will be a hard colour to find in fabric but have decided to try to enter a2(w)'s competition. Read ALL about the competition by clicking here.
I look forward to the fun task of SHOPPING for the desired fabrics to make something to enter into the competition! Yes, I am mad to even be thinking about a new project when I already have so many on the go but hey, you only live once and I've decided to live NOW and do the things that make me happy and this colour makes me happy!

I'm a green sort of girl too. Di x
Oooo I love greens. Especially that minty greeny-blue colour in Blitzen and Curio. Yum yum yum! What I really need is a Kona colour card - they are like hen's teeth at the mo but I will get one eventually!
I love your selection of greens. Love how seriously your taking this months challenge.
I've been plotting in my head on this one as well. It's one of those quilts that keeps you awake at night, you know? I'm going to have to get it into fabric soon or I may never sleep again!
I am going to live this challenge through you - gooooo Amy!

Green is my faaaaaavorite color. :) I have been vaguely thinking about an art quilt that would feature a lot of green... maybe this is the year
