Another baby quilt- green and gray!

The soon to be New Mom asked for greens and grays as her choice for colors for the baby quilt.
This piece was found in my stash.  I love the green and gray!



A 2 inch border of green check on a white background and a 6 inch border of dark grey were added to the print to make a good size back.  If you like to speculate as to why the borders look wavy, that would be b/c it is not ironed, or squared up yet.  I kinda just let it fall to the floor so I could take a picture.
The small tumbler die for the GO was used to cut scraps.  Special thanks to the other gals for getting this cut out at quilt group.  I was supposed to kit them up for the  to sew- my bad.  I was only going to do a couple of rows and hand it off, but these are so easy I just kept going.  I sew my 'row' together in a loop and then cut either a green or gray in half, that gives me a straight edge on the sides.  When I get the length I want I sew the top row to the bottom and cut one row in half.  That gives me a 1/2 block across the top and bottom to match the sides.


I had enough of the dark gray left to do a small border on this top.  I should then be able to  quilt it all together in time for the baby shower in a few weeks.

MC- Sept- GREEN!

The Monochromatic Challege color for Sept is GREEN.
Thanks to everyone who threw out ideas.  I love that Oscar is in a Recycle can!  There are a few items to add-  something for Tyler's b-day being next on the list!  (Happy 9th b-day grandson!)

Sept has everything from back to school to grandparents day.  I have a bit more to do to this block but wanted to share what I have so far: School House, mary's lamb and apple (back to school)  Tools for Labor Day.  Sewing machine for sewing day,week, month whatever.  Tata and Amma for grandparents Day.  Green Eggs and Ham. (Hubby reminded me it is NOT green eggs AND 'green' ham- lol)  Kermit the Frog (It isn't easy being green!)


Oreo didn't want to pose.  He said something about call his agent and work out a contract before he does another photo shoot.
