spring has truly and really arrived, so there is not much time for green sewing. after 2 evenings of sorting, pressing and cutting, I have this table of green 3" squares. with the exception of a small pile of scraps that were given to me, this is all my green.
every month I think- "oh, good. color XXX. I don't have too much of that color; this shouldn't take too long. this month I was wrong again! I also went through my Christmas green; I'll be making a scrappy Christmas quilt (in an effort to use all. those. squares.)!
on the encouraging side, though, is this picture of my green basket. look how much of my green I was able to put to use- some for my squares and strips, and I gave a bunch of greens that I won't use to my church sewing group.
I spent a lot of time on the tractor tilling this week. it's great to be able to finally work the soil in preparation for planting!
we planted the high tunnel tomatoes this week- and they're doing great! even a few blossoms on many of the plants.

All those green squares cut already! But tilling and planting take priority; you were lucky the weather was dry for you.
That's a lot of cutting! Whatever comes next should be easy. Enjoy your time outdoors.
Nice selection of green squares--it'll be a lovely quilt...hugs, Julierose
That's a lot of green.
Lots of green, but to me the best is the tomato plant. How I wish I had full sun on my deck!
Cutting is most of the battle. So glad to hear that you are finally getting some spring weather.
Looks like you will get to enjoy green fabrics and the green sprouting from the earth!
It looks like you have a good start on everything green1
That's a lot of green squares. Enjoy getting them all into a project.
I'm green with envy over your greenhouse!
You've got a good start for the month of May already! With all those squares already cut you'll be able to sit down and sew just a bit whenever you're done with the garden. Good for you!
Great job on the prep work - both in fabric and soil! Soon you'll have green with both.
