Orange Peel QAL - first update



I'm not sure if I've ever told you that I plan to join in the Orange Peel QAL held over at Button Button?  If you want to join in, there's loads of time, we've just got started.
Orange Peel Quilt-Along!
I'm making a mini of some description, so I only need 36 blocks.  We have another 6 weeks to go, so that means I need to be making 6 blocks a week.  I got started with the green blocks.  It uses freezer paper applique and is hand stitched.  The blocks are oversized and will be cut down afterwards to avoid having to make sure the orange peels are precisely placed.


 I'm digging through my scrap bins for this one, so these are just a random variety of greens, all appliqued onto a low volume background, in this case, Bike paths.  I can't believe I just said low volume. 

Yellows next...

 And to think I'm allergic to oranges, hope I'll be OK!

    This looks like a great project to use up some scraps - I'm tempted! Love the colours in yours.

    This should turn out to be a pretty quilt. Think I'm appliqueing letters and numbers today (or maybe Monday, lol)
