I have made many quilts using orange and purple. But purple didn't seem to be a good color for a little boy. So, here I have combined dark green and shocking orange!

Bold Colors
My daughters have been telling me for a long time that it's time to make a beautiful quilt for my own bed! so, I got to work, in honor of our 42nd anniversary (it's hard to believe!) and Ron's birthday, which is quite a milestone, and I created this quilt. The pattern is similar to the one that I made for Dahlia's bed, a few years ago (also a convergence quilt).
How to:
take 17 X 21" pieces of 2 contrasting fabrics and cut them in strips -- 1.5", 2.5", 3", 3.5", 5", 5.5". Then put them together in descending and ascending order. Isn't the effect stupendous?
