When considering the quilts that I had mad over my many years, whether it was patchwork, themed or patterned, I attempted to think how many green ones I had made... And to my astonishment, I couldn't remember making even one green quilt.
After coming to this awareness, I could find no real reason for not having one and became hell fixed on starting one. I sat down with my pencil and pad and recorded 2 concepts for my green quilt.
Link Theme
I have a nephew who is really into his Nintendo. One of the games I've seen him play is a game called Zelda : Twilight Princess. The primary personality of this game is a little fellow called Link.
He dresses principally in green, with a bit of brown. The graphics on this game were fairly easy, with smooth edges and not a great deal of detail. Making a quilt with Link in one of the forest theme levels would be quite easy and would typically feature a green design.
On top of this, my nephew would be thrilled to bits with a blanket like this. thigsa and other things oh yeah... things and stuff and more stuff
A Vine Blanket thigns accepting
Taking a rather more nature themed approach, I popped up with the concept of using vines to form the pattern of a quilt. You may have them criss-cross or just grow in random directions across the quilt.
Once you have decided the way in which the vines will go, add some leaves to all of the vines to add some texture to your green quilt. It really makes for a great free form design.
Now I am not going to tell you which idea I ended up going with, but I'm of the opinion that I'm going to ultimately use every one of them, as I adore them both! Thing and stuff oh yup baby
