So I finished the top and back of the quilt for the Pelham Quilter's outgoing President.... Thanks to the 19 other members who contributed squares. It is funny that the yellow and blues were all so similar in value, that it made it pretty easy to create a cohesive piece. The greens were different, but since greens remind us all of nature and leafs and such come in so many different shades of green and live together so wonderfully in nature, they still worked well. I ended up using a very simple setting method, with a basic inner/outer boarder as not to take away from the beautiful blocks.
I was heading out of town, and ran out of time, so my DH delivered it to Mary Anne who will quilt it for us. Our meeting is the 13th of September, so I wanted to make sure she had enough time to quilt it on her George.
Lorriane has been president for almost 20 years... yes we are bit unconventional as a guild :-). I hope this quilt will be a fitting tribute to her years of service. I will post pics once we present it to Lorraine in September.
I also spent some time quilting a small piece for a friend, Donna Chambers, to take with her on her trip to Africa this September. She is going with a quilting group and they will stop by a children's orphanage. She has asked members of the guild to make baby quilts for her take with her. I should finish this next weekend. Will post pics of this as well, once finished.

I can't wait to see the quilt. You are right about greens. That makes it so nice in many quilts. There are so many greens in nature and they live easily side by side.
