to the Sticks
and
the second day of the
"Little Green Apples Challenge"
Here is my finished
Green Apple Blocks Quilt.
Carol at Just Let Me Quilt invited a great group of Bloggers to
create something with green or apple fabric (or a combo of both!)
Thanks, Carol, for inviting me!
I have so many green scraps and I've always wanted to make a
blocks quilt, so this was the perfect chance.
I cut 5 1/2" equilateral triangles out of green fabrics (light, medium, and dark shades)
to design my blocks.
There are actually green apples in one of the fabrics.
I quilted it with a shamrock design.
But the best part of this quilt is the day we took pictures.
I had a pro to hold my quilt.
The hostess with the most!!!!
Our very own Carol from Just Let Me Quilt.
We went to Vegas a couple of weeks ago (again)...
Carol and her husband, Ron, took us out to the Colorado river for kayaking,
picture taking and they even packed us a picnic lunch.
Thank you, Carol!
It was such a fun day!!! Memories made for sure!
And then there was this guy with a green shirt...
I love that through this community we can build the best friendships.
Here are other friends posting today:

It is a beauty and looks stunning out in the wild. Fabulous job, Carla
Gorgeous quilt. I am really enjoying this blog hop, as green is my favorite color. Beautiful scenery and looks like more fun times spent with Carol and her husband.
I like how the yellow sage blossoms bring out the yellow in the greens in that last picture. You two always have such fun together. I bought Debby Kratovil's diamond pattern to make my diamond CQ blocks, and loved her no-y-seams piecing. You found a way, too. The scenery where you took the pictures makes me homesick! =)
I have always loved the tumbling block quilt. I actually tried making one a long time ago (like 15 + years ago) when I was new to sewing but I tried with a template. Needless to say, it didn't go well for a novice. Looking back if I had thought of using triangles it may have gone differently. I actually still have the UFO and might try to finish it someday. But I know I will cringe when I see the seam allowances since I didnt know about them back then.
Oh, I love your block quilt. Best yet, that you got a chance to play with Carol again and have a photo shoot too. Our blogging community is such a great one!
Gorgeous quilt and fantastic scenery/photography! I'm glad you, Carol and your guys had fun together.
Great quilt! I like the size of the blocks--nice to work with, I'm thinking. How neat to get together with Carol again! Good times!
Gorgeous quilt and what fun you had on another trip to Vegas!
Beautiful quilt! That trip to the CO river looks like loads of fun.
Gorgeous quilt, and what fun to spend time with Carol!
Gorgeous quilt -- I'm glad you and Carol had a fun together!
The green cubes are gorgeous. Whta fun that you had it with you in Vegas and did a photo shoot with Carol, perfect!
You two are so fun to adventure with! It was great to sit on the shore while you worked your arms paddling four miles up the waterway. Much easier for us! LOL I was so busy holding that quilt that I failed to look at it very closely. I love it! You definitely met the green challenge on this one. Thanks for sharing your quilt and vacation with me! xo
A fun trip, and a lovely green quilt. You had such a terrific combination of greens. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful quilt and time making sweet memories.
I love these cube quilts! This one is fabulous in greens! And the photo backgrounds are perfect! Such fun!
Looks like a wonderful visit. Love your finish.
Green, green, green - so many lovely fabrics made with green. Love the quilt; I, too, have a 'block' quilt on my bucket list. You did a super job and the shamrock quilting was doubly wonderful.
You met with JOAN again!! I'm totally jealous!! nice to see pics of you btw! you look like your logo thingy :)
Oh and nice quilt!!
Beautiful quilt! The green 3-D blocks really stand out against the dark background. Great job!
What a beautiful quilt! It looks like you and Carol and the guys had a wonderful visit. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a fun display date. Great looking quilt. I don't think I've ever made that block but your quilt is very inspiring. hmmmmmm
Spectacular quilt, Carla! It gives me hope that I can finally make a Tumbling Blocks quilt, too. (I'm not as afraid of working with triangles as I am diamonds.) Glad to see that you had another fun visit with Carol!
What a beautiful quilt!!
Love your cube quilt Carla! It was fun seeing your quilt holder and I'm hoping to meet her in a couple of weeks when we go to Las Vegas! I'm also hoping to see a desert bloom (It's a bucket list thing you. know). I have made a couple of cube quilts, but your version is the best. :)
Just beautiful! And I love the photo shoot! xx
You gals make me smile!! Carla, thanks for the post and lovely project. I adore that effective green blocks quilt design. It's a classic that always looks so fun, clever and challenging (Y seams and all). I'm so thrilled to see more of your photos with Carol. How lucky you gals are to live in traveling distance. I want to hug you both for all these incredible blog hops!!! XOXOX
Your quilt turned out beautifully. I love the photoshoot of it too. It sounds like you had a great time with good friends in Vegas.
Beautiful quilt!
How fun to have a 'professional' quilt holder! Looks like you had fun!
