It Is Easy Being Green

We talk about green with envy, looking green when we're feeling unwell, green back dollars and the grass that is always greener. 

Green is a color people have a lot of mixed feelings about. Green is not a color everyone should wear. For clothing, it's marvelous or dreadful and there's nothing in between. And there are endless greens ranging from chartreuse to lodge. 

But we're in the quilter world. Remember? We don't have to wear the colors we work with. And greens give us a cool fresh feeling nothing else can match. 
Several years ago it was fashionable to say that lime is the new neutral. It really is. Green tends to set off any color near it with a beautiful background.
Here are some lovely quilts that glow with their greens.

We love the lime next to to the yellow green in this quilt by Denyse Schmidt.

Green Not-Baby Quilt

This Green Not-baby Quilt is a neat take on a rectangular log cabin. What a neat use of strips?

The differing greens dance together.

Go ahead and green one of your quilts. You may find yourself rolling in clover.
