Mosaic Blocks in Green

Green has been the RSC color of the month for March.

Early in the month I sorted out eight QSTs

for each of my forty blocks.

And then I got sick . . . 

This past week I was finally able to sew my blocks together.

The plate above holds 320 pairs of tiny "ears" 

that were trimmed from the HST corners.

I did not trim these the first month.

After seeing the results 

I changed my plan and decided trimming 

 made for a neater back with less bulk in the seams.

The HSTs were then chain stitched into pairs . . .

. . . and those pairs were sewn into blocks.

I'm especially pleased that this month's blocks

pressed even flatter than last month's.

I really like the way the multiple greens

dance and play with the background blues.

I wasn't too sure about that very light green text print

but it adds a bit of sparkle to the mix

and it does in fact read as pale green.

The March greens now join January's reds . . . 

. . . and February's yellows in the project box.

I wonder what color we'll be playing with in April?
