Green Tea & Sweet Beans {week #2}


I feel like I've made some progress this week with a few more new blocks for my GT&SB quilt...


Garden Path 6" block



Having lots of fun mixing up my stash for this project,
little bits of modern, Liberty, vintage - love how they all play together!  


a cute bundle of  Liberty- lious 10" squares - I'll cut into them next time! 


1st applique flower block



I've got a 1/4 yd of this pretty 'Betsy' tana lawn Liberty 
so I'm planning on scattering bits of it throughout the quilt



Along with machine piecing, I'm doing needle turn applique 
- h-m-m-m- it's been a while since I had to do itty bitty leaves like these, 
guess I'll get better by the time I've  made the 20th one, yes?!?




Double Pinwheel 6" block







So not a fast finish by any means, but very enjoyable watching it slowly grow. 

What are you working on this week?
Linking up with 'oh scrap' here and WiP Wednesday over here

I really like the fabrics you are throwing into this quilt. Jen's quilts are a bit like Kaffe's, the more variety and colour used, the better they look. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Love the fabric mix!

Thanks Karyn! Those leaves were a bit tricky, it’s years since I did any appliqué! I notice though, on looking around, not everyone gets them perfect... just like nature! Linda

Linda @ kokaquilts said...

Thanks! Yes I agree, it’s a great pattern for variety, using up little bits of everything! I’m just conscious of keeping the backgrounds fairly light so the pretty blocks can stand out just a little. Linda

Such a happy mix of fabric.

Linda @ kokaquilts said...

Thank you Julie! Yes, it's a real scrappy adventure!
I'm using lots of little bits of everything. Green is probably the one colour I don't have much of, I suspect I'll be repeating those particular ones! Linda

I love your flower blocks, Linda. You do make the best flowers -- of all varieties!
