I'm making my friend a quilt for her wedding this winter. She said her favorite color is teal... I really hope she meant it!
I used this great tutorial from Quiltville, with the larger 12" blocks. I wanted to make an ombre effect from the center, so I took the leftover triangles from the pineapple corners and mirrored the ombre on the border. I wasn't sure about SO MUCH TEAL (hence the name), but as usual it came together much better than expected. I am now in the process of quilting straight lines vertically and horizontally to match the piecing pattern. Still haven't quite figured out the border... not sure I'm willing to add another teal fabric. Maybe navy blue? I do have a lot of the Alison Glass teal Corsage left, and after spending so much time with this color scheme I don't think I'll be heartbroken to see it go. We'll see what speaks to me after the quilting is done!
