Spring Green


Thanks for a great challenge Lisa! I thought about this one for awhile, but living on the wet west coast of Canada, we're pretty much surrounded by green year round.  Being spring, inspiration and fresh greens abound.  I think green and I think ferns.
I started with these


cut some squares, played with some layouts
did a little applique

and then the fun stuff for me - some thread painting and free motion quilting!





and here's my interpretation of the theme
Spring Green
I'm really happy with how this turned out.  Don't forget to go check out the other Tanglers


Happy quilting!

  2. Janet, this piece transports me to the cool parts of the West Coast temperate rain forest where ferns are abundant! I love the simplicity of your piece. As always your FMQ is exquisite and gives the piece the perfect texture.

  7. Janet, your FMQ has me green with envy, it adds so much movement and interest to this. And all those textures of the background fabrics, it just makes me want to fondle this quilt!!
