I have some lime green rail fence checkerboard blocks done. Green and lime are two different colours in my stash. I have a scrap box just for lime green. I once did a quilt where the back ground was lime. I got started on the rail fence checkerboard blocks after being inspired by Bonnie Hunters and her leaders and ender challenge. Go check out her post about the rail fence challenge.
I needed a gift to give away so I got a good start with my selvages. I think I will keep going and make some for myself. I have used the heat resistant silver fabric and plan these to be hot mats. They still need a binding.
I have added this post to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, and Make it Monday.
I have not thought of featuring lime green in any if my quilts. Now I want to! Your rail fence is lovely. Thanks for sharing with Design Wall Mondays....you inspire me.
ReplyDeleteI like the checkerboard you've added to your rail fence blocks. Very fun selvage blocks, what a great way to use them up.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your green rail checkerboard piece--beautiful shadings of greens...a nice hint of Spring with the onset of Wintry weather...I am considering doing her leader-ender this time (no angles heh heh !;))) . I downloaded her instructions--so they are in my "To-Do" binder for 2018--trying to get myself organized here...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI love that you’re using selvages! You’ve always been brilliant with strings. Going to subscribe to your blog. xo, Cathy K
