To green, or not to green?
It never fails...when I have something I *should* be sewing (i.e. deadline-related), a different project cries out for attention and piques my interest. In this case, it's a baby quilt that I'm making for the friends who received the Urban Lattice quilt I recently finished. The baby boy was born in August (I gave them the wedding quilt a year late; trying to be a little more timely with the baby quilt).
And if you're wondering why a quilt for a baby born in August isn't at the top of my to-do list...well, this is the SECOND baby born in August who will be receiving a quilt. I'm just a little stuck on the first quilt idea. And I'm finishing a Halloween tutorial. And my do.Good Stitches blocks for October.

Anyway...
I had these fabrics from a Blue Underground 1/4 yard roll I'd bought a few years ago and hadn't used yet. Love them!
I started out swimmingly by sewing the wrong side of my initial piece to the center strip:
(I think it's only fitting that my photo of my mistake is blurry...don't you?)
Then I got back on track and finished my first block:
I've got 5 done. I love how fast these go, and how carefree they are!
Now here's my question. Do I just stick with the mocha and denim fabrics, or do I throw a little green in there for variety? I keep going back and forth. I love just the mocha and denim alone, but then I think maybe the green would add a little pop. I'd love to hear your opinion!
