Shades of green

After finishing my first quilt, I excitedly jumped head first into my next quilt. Within a week, I had completed the quilt top. I am now at the quilting part and quite pleased with my progress. (Yes, I am totally hooked on quilting now.) I would love to share pictures but it's for a gift (go 'Quilt Girl') and I can't risk the small chance that the receiver might see it here and that would completely blow the surprise... But I do plan to post pictures after giving the gift.

In the meantime, I will share a small rainbow of fabrics with green in them:

They will be chopped up and a quilt will be created from them. I plan to venture away from my usual big squares. A little bit. Maybe.

I have been creating a small quilting stash by hitting the remnants bin in our local fabric store. I usually find a couple of good ones and they are always on a buy one get one free sale, so I've been managing to get 1-2 metres of fabrics for 2 -3 dollars. There is always an interesting blend of colours and fabrics in the basket (which is the first place I head for in the store). I can only imagine how much fabric I would have if I worked there - yikes!
