This quilt has many 8x8” light green squares. I’d like to do a different FMQ pattern in each of them. Any ideas for one of the squares?
im also thinking of using several colors in each square instead of just Various greens. What do you think?
There is also a lot of the odd Mint green shape Shown below. Any ideas for that?
Thanks MJP

Pretty top! The green blocks would look nice with a design in them like using the spin rulers and ruler foot. If you don’t do ruler work, you could just do the whole thing cross hatched following the little squares.

Nice top! Since it’s green and the squares look like windows, try some outdoor motifs. Leaves, vines, flowers, birds, and fruit. The odd shaped areas could be trees. The flowers and birds would lend themselves to different colors of thread.

Since you have mostly block shapes in your beautiful quilt I would go with a circular motif like a wreath in the green spaces. I think I would also use the same color thread in the green spaces since you have so much color going on throughout the quilt. I love the pattern and I wonder if it had a name or if you designed the pattern. I have made 3 scrap quilts this year and I still have 3 bins of scraps left that I could use to make this quilt. Great job!
