Last month I shared my three forest green blocks for my Technicolor Turkey RSC17 project, based on Bonnie Hunter's Talkin' Turkey pattern. This time it's lime green.
I tried, but I was completely unable to resist using this Jolly Jungle fabric in the centre of all three blocks!
It is So Darn Cute.
There is not a lot of contrast between some of the limes and some of the backgrounds. But, I think other blocks have more than enough contrast to make up for it.
If you set the pattern with the darker colours, you will see it here too.
At least, that's my story and I'm sticking with it!

I've also been thinking ahead to next year already. I have a really crazy idea...
...and this is the first stage of deciding how it could work.
So far, it seems doable.
Of course, just because I can, doesn't mean I should...
...but so far, it seems to have legs.
It's a Really Crazy Idea.
. . . but will you?
ReplyDeleteReally crazy is good. . .anything but would be drab and b o r i n g!!!! I like that sweet jungle fabric!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry! It definitely won't be boring. In fact, pretty challenging, I think. But I'm also pretty sure it's a go.
DeleteYour blocks with lime greens and jungle fabric are wonderful- so fun and happy!
ReplyDeleteBits of juvenile fabric lines are one of my favorite additions to quilts. Even when the rest is sophisticated, it still makes me smile. Love these little bits.
ReplyDeleteThere is even some PINK in your lime green blocks. Looking forward to hearing more about your crazy idea for RSC18!!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I love your TT blocks! Like you, I’m thinking ahead to RSC 2018. TT is on my short list because I thought it might be wise to see if I can combine an RSC project while simultaneously knocking something off my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics, great blocks. Super!
ReplyDeleteLove those center squares - especially that monkey!
ReplyDeleteAnd Really Crazy Ideas are the BEST ideas! (And that's MY story...)
Love the fabrics you used in your blocks. This is such a fun spray to use up the scraps!
ReplyDeleteDo it!
ReplyDeleteLove the jungle prints in the centre - they fit brilliantly with the limes, a secret discovery that makes you smile.
ReplyDeleteI know, I think this quilt will be entertaining for many years, with all the little "finds" here and there in the blocks. Thanks, Jillian!
DeleteThat's the cutest bear I've ever seen. They all steal the show. BTW, I scrolled and saw your rainbow sketch a minute after I took pics of a gorgeous rainbow over our building. Maybe that's a sign?
ReplyDeleteWhen you pulled back from that cute centre block, wow, what a great piece this one is! Wonderful work and anything is possible in your capable hands!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Jocelyn! I greatly appreciate the encouragement! :D
DeleteLove the monkeys and the lime green turkey blocks. Something crazy? Sounds like fun to me.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to resist that fabric for the center either! It's the added "smile factor".
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm curious about your new project. So far I like the rainbow!
