I finished this 3 yd quilt top yesterday. It's the "It's A Snap" quilt from Fabric Cafe. I love the 3D effect of squares on top of each other marching diagonally down the quilt. It's about 43x61View attachment 4177828

Those colors are beautiful together! I would have never thought to use that shade of green.

That is a great combination! Very nicely done.

I agree that the green would not be a first choice for most quilters. That shade of green is in a minute area of the medallion focus fabric along with a brownish-gold color, as is the very dark blue color. It really works because they're both already in the fabric, of course, though you have to look closely to see the green. I wouldn't immediately have chosen that, either, except for the guidelines of fabric selection for Fabric Cafe's three yard quilts. They make great, easy to follow patterns (I'm all about easy these days) and a low waste use of yardage.

That is a great combination! Very nicely done.

Thank you! I really like the final effect.
