Minty Green

Since I am the regular recipient of scrap fabric from the ladies in my guild, I did have plenty of minty green for last week's blocks, plus a new-to-me couple of yards that I found last month.

Here are the pieces I used to go with it -

I found a pretty print with minty green in it and matched the other colors.

Here's the small star:


This weekend I'll work on AQUA!

I love it....it's like a crazy block in the middle of the star. Very nice work and a creative idea. Thanks for sharing!

Love the mint fabrics in these blocks and the mix of fabrics you chose with them.
