Yesterday was day 2 of sewing with my quilt club. Since I got the HST quilt blocks done and up on the design wall, I took another quilt kit to make and got all of the 4-patch blocks put together. Then I laid them out with the alternating 4" blocks and we all agreed that the pale tan does not work at all! I packed everything up and came home to search through my stash to see what might work better. I sent these 3 options to my opinion committee and I got a unanimous response of green. This week I will be dyeing some green fabric so I can finish this quilt. Then I did a very nice thing. No one ever asks me to do alteration or repair things and that's a good thing. But Chris has a friend visiting town for a couple of days and they have been playing golf. Matt had just bought himself some new pants and I offered to hem them for him. I really don't mind doing hemming. I wish I had some thread in the orange color that Levi uses but he didn't care. He was just thrilled to have them done! I had just enough green thread to hem the green pants for him! I love an empty thread spool.
Today it's nice outside so I'm doing more outside work and then meeting friends for a drink this evening.

I personally like the pale beige large squares in the quilt! I'm reminded of a Latin phrase my father taught me years ago: de gustibus non est disputandum - there is no accounting for taste!

I agree wholeheartedly with your committee: Green is the best visually with these blocks. The middle, coral color, would work also.
