Rainbow Challenge Greens #1

I put together this sweet little pink/green top for Wrap-a-Smile yesterday that meets the *no rules* rules for the 2011 Rainbow Challenge (meaning you don't have to have it all green!).  I especially wanted to use up the pink/green fabric that had apples in it - it was printed crooked and drove me crazy - glad it's almost gone!  I also was glad to find a nice use for the five green blocks in the center that were leftover from a green block swap.  I thought this was a good use for those poor orphaned blocks (they have green fabric backgrounds although the picture makes them look black).

I found out I had lots and lots of green fabrics so I think this is only #1 for the Rainbow Challenge.  My swap group has a lottery and we are making green and white blocks this month, so I'll post a picture of those soon.

What a sweet little quilt. I'm so glad you are getting close to the end of the crooked apple fabric, though I'm sure you'll miss it when its gone:) So glad you found some inspiration in the challenge.

These are really cute. To get over the fact taht I'm a bit stuck with the greens I think I will be mixing it up and making a green and something else project too.

PS Thank you for the kind words that you left on my blog about my photography
