green/purple fun

I couldn't wait to piece some of the strip sets and make some blocks with this combination. I sewed all of the lighter combinations so there isn't very much of the darkest green in here yet. I didn't have quite enough blocks to finish this layout. I didn't have the book down in the basement by my design wall so I just tried some layouts that were fresh in my memory from the purple/yellow batch.
It is quite light and bright with only a few of the darkest greens.
I know I will have to make one in the zig zag pattern but I might wait and make it out of all of the leftover blocks from both groups. Someone reminded me that I have the On Demand feature with the digital box from Comcast so I checked it out and one of the shows I missed seeing was on the list so I watched it while piecing the blocks. I was surprised how many shows I normally watch that aren't on their list though. I will still have to catch them on my computer until I can figure out the VCR problem.

    I think that the green and purple combo is my favorite so far. I just love them together. They remind me of Irises. Yes, that on demand feature is terrific. We tend to use it quite a bit. Lots of stuff is free too.

    They all look so beautiful. I can't believe the many options with that block.

    For some reason I really like the zig zag setting of the green and purple blocks.

    Each arrangement of blocks is so different that I would have a really hard time saying which I like best, but I think it's the first one. You can't go wrong with this color combo though. Purple, green and yellow work no matter what!

    I love the first layout, but they are all great! The zigzag one looks interesting too, but stars are my favourite! I love them all and wouldn't know which one to pick.

    Love the green and purple combo and the first layout is my favorite because it looks like expanding stars.
    You make such beautiful quilts.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Regards,
    Anna

    Glad that you found the disappearing nine patch helpful.I am sure you have lots of beautiful fabrics to use that will make an interesting 9 patch quilt.
    I have lots more charm squares to sew together that could be used in a scrappy one- it was interesting to see the difference when one used a scrappy palette versus using a set palette with repeating fabrics. I will be interested to see your new version/s..

    All the quilt layouts are great. Thank you for showing us these layouts. It is great to see someone else's designs. If I am working alone, I don't think of all the possibilities. That is why I like taking classes. It is fun to see what other's will discover using the same basic block design.

    Hi Wanda,
    It's amazing how much depth is created with your fabric choices!
    I like the star the best, but the boxes is great, too.
    And at night the quilt could double as a night light!
