Blue and Green....that's my 2 colors. I had plenty of those scraps, so this was easy. I cut pieces 2.5" x 4.5" and put them together. the pieces going horizontally alternate the 2 colors. the pieces going vertically have the green on the left and the blue on the right. It is 72x80".
Now, here is where you get to shake your head and laugh at me. I wanted this to go quickly. The colors reminded me of water, so I put a fish panto on it. But it seemed too dense and I didn't want to take forever quilting it. So, the second row I switched to a seashell panto. That was too dense, too. Those were both Debra Geissler pantos.
So, I switched again to a Sew-Phie Quilts panto called Florine's Flowers. Nope, didn't like that one either.
Finally, fourth row....and the rest of it....got Country Garden by Golden Threads. That went quick enough to suit me. sheesh!!
This is the back. I used 2 different pieces of green...more stash off the shelves. And the binding was the same green with the ivy.
Glide Cobalt Blue for the top and So Fine Off White for the bobbin.
I pieced a second one, but haven't quilted it yet.
