I am doing dark teal, light teal, olive green, tan and beige. It is my sampler quilt, using three different fabric designs, one solid beige, one light print of teal flowers and the other is a dark teal background with beige flowers and dark olive green leaves. It is from the Clara Barton collection by Windham. Now I find out I can't get either of the prints, so I have to work around it. I have seventeen 12" blocks made and 36 to go, and I know I don't have enough fabric, so I will either cut back or get another solid print to fill in with a solid block. Don't know yet. The LQS didn't figure out correctly how much fabric I would need. So here I sit, wondering if I will even get it finished. It is a super special quilt for my husband and I as a remembrance of our 50th anniversary. Oh, it'll work out one way or the other. I'll make it work out! Edie

Am working on a big one, greens, yellows, teals, blacks, browns, its Origins by Moda
Then some Quilts for Kids in the usual brights with black backgrounds
And then I just put together a Jelly roll 1600 in purple batiks

It's for my DD's husband Bert, of the Military Barracks Quilt Project fame.

That's all set-in with "Y" seams.
I'll have to make something quick, small, spring-fresh and floral after this one, just to clear the "taste" of this from my eyes!!! Never have made such a (personally) unpleasant quilt, LOL! To each his own!

To rest, I do a few days of flying geese from scraps, building up to the completed-top stage.
Next is finishing the border stage of a sampler with so many colors it's ridiculous - mostly autumn.
Next are 4 "somethings" small crazy quilt projects using my dad's ties.
And next ... and next ... and next ... and next. lol

The colors on mine that are started:
Double Irish Chain in Black, Medium Purple and Light Yellow. This is a charity quilt for the Music Booster to sell chances on. Colors were picked for the school colors.
Magic Carpet Ride (Easter Egg Quilt as my DD call it) in Light colors of blue, green, pink and yellow AND
a scrappy quilt I won't even start with all the colors in it. Although, the solid block is a medium blue.
