Avocado-ish

I don't get it...I really love guacamole so you'd think this would have been a snap. But as I looked thru my stash (and I must admit - I have a whole shop to pick from) - I realized, I am "avocado-ly challenged" - huh, I would have never guessed that. I've got greens...TONS of greens - and tho I'm not in love with green, I don't hate it either - apparently though, I don't recognize "avocado" as a green I should have or should buy or should try to sell to my customers.  

I finally found one piece that I figured would be close enough - but had quite a time, trying to figure WHAT to put with it. I read earlier comments and saw the oooh's and ahhh's of the avocado lovers and what ya'll might pair it with...and I looked at my fabric again - still didn't 'feel it'.  I found some sunflowers that I really liked and threw in some purple - it didn't move me, but I couldn't find anything I liked better. Decided I would use this:

Kinda blah, don't you think?  I've already decided to make all my blocks play together so planned to bring back some of my other fabrics when I started to build. Sat down at the sewing machine and just before my pedal hit the medal - I Spied some scrappies (leftovers from a customers quilt

- which proves NOT always cleaning up after a project can be useful).  I put together this little play group and brought back the scrolly yellow from last week:

Yes, the avocado was definitely getting lost in the mix (but shhh, don't tell, maybe no one will notice) - and now for the finished block - ta-da......

I must admit ~ I really like the way it turned out - it might even turn into my favorite block (and big improvement from last week - I didn't need my 'hammer'). But if it's ok with ya'll, from now on - I'll just enjoy my avocado with salsa & chips :) Thanks Ms.V for another fun color!
