Green on the Farm

I’m making pleasant progress on my pineapple tops.  This quilt is one of those more complicated/tedious projects that I dread more before I begin it than once it’s started.  I’m making good progress on the second set of strips.

As I move along with my farm blocks, I realized I failed to explain why I had chosen each block.  I’ll start now, with green!

The Christmas tree has a red tree skirt since I made a red and cream skirt for our tree.  Next is a Christmas wreath.  I suppose if I’d thought about it in advance, I would have added purple and pink for Advent candles.  Peas are my kids’ favorite vegetable!

Next is a plate and silverware.  Each of my kids is assigned a color, and their plates at cups are in their assigned color.  Green is Q’s color.  Q is the fourth boy/man with his name, so when I abbreviate his name with initials, I usually use IV.

I do have a wooden spoon and an olive green mixing bowl.  The teal color is my favorite color, so this is a “I would love to find a mixing bowl in this color.”  Q loves Granny Smith apples, so I made a green apple.  I used to crochet (now it hurts my wrists too much to do often), and the Assistant knits, so of course we need a little yarn in our lives.  (This all sounds a lot less interesting when I type it out.  Oh, well.)
