Green and Yellow.....

While perusing Pinterest....
I repinned a gorgeous vintage quilt.  Don't you just love Pinterest???
this quilt is a Vintage Quilt belonging to Anne Sutton.

It would appear this quilt is done by English paper piecing, but I thought I would play a little with the design and a couple of special rulers....


 I am only giving a sneak peek today...
When I saw the pinterest picture it reminded me of a color combination that I love....
a combination that was a favorite of this girl....

So using my Kaleido ruler and my Kite ruler from Marti Michell...
I have been able to work out this pattern, although I am partial to the English Paper Pieced version...

  
But for now, I will keep working this out with Green and Yellow leading the way....
Happy Friday!

  15. Done it! Just finished this pattern for my daughter's Christmas but it looks different because my stars are the light fabrics! Pieced it by hand but not paper pieced - Go Mary!

    It will look fab with your colours - as usual!
