Green Scrappy Saturday



Yesterday's post was about the red bindings and today's is all about the green 2 1/4" Alamo stars. What's going on with all the Christmas colours in my sewing room!?!?

There were still a few leftover purple blocks from last month that I just finished up, and the rest are greens mixed with other batiks.

Green is such a welcomed colour this time of the year, but it has been so cold here (we had frost last night) that the garden seedlings are very slow to get growing. I started some seedlings in egg cartons this year, but look how pathetic they are.


Nothing is growing well, so plants can't go into the garden yet. 
But lots of green is being cut and sewn in my quilting room!

Hope the weather warms up soon. Love your little egg shell planters. Such a cute idea.

I was late planting and now we have been having weather more suited for a little north of us but everything has been growing really well right now, plenty of wet!

Great idea on the egg carton planters. Hope you get warmer weather and sun so you can plant them soon.
Enjoy playing with the green instead.

I love green, especially the green outside.

I wish we could send you some of our heat. The greens are such a pretty color at this time of the year.

Brown dirt is better than white snow, I bet! Love all the green and purple :)

Beautiful blocks! We have been below normal too here in New Jersey - but things are starting to green up - outside and inside my sewing room too!

Bonnie said...

Those blocks are looking great. Sorry to tell you we've had two salads from lettuce from our garden. Yum! Hopefully it'll warm up where you are soon. Happy sewing!

All those wonderful batik Alamo stars are going to look fabulous when they are together in a quilt!

Those are tiny blocks! My garden is growing gangbusters. But we are about a month behind this year. Still chilly for us for this time of year, but I am not complaining. Soon we will see triple digets and the air will run everyday.

I've probably asked this before, but how many Alamo Stars do you have now? They are so cute and luscious looking!
At least you have seedlings. I had every intention of doing that this year, but didn't remember in time. Happens every year! : )

Jeanne said...

Great blocks, Kathy! Hope you have more green inside and outside very soon. :-)

Sheila said...

What cute blocks. Hope it warms up there. We are having warmer days but the nights are still cool.

Love those Alamo Stars. Looking forward to seeing that project up on the design wall.
