It's a finish!
Green Contessa
40 x 60
I made the complete block set back in July 2025 and put them in my SAR (Some Assembly Required) bin. At that time, I also made blocks for a blue version as well as a pink version. I wanted to use up scraps that accumulated in the 2.5 inch width box.
(It is actually what I call a Basket Weave pattern).
BUT
I didn't use a jellyroll.
I didn't make as many blocks.
I didn't make stripsets of 5 WOF strips (because I didn't have that many). Instead I made 4 strip sets of 3 or 4 strips and then cut them into the 6.5 inch sections and added 2.5 x 6.5 inch rectangle(s) (from 2.5 inch width scrap bin) to the ends of each section.
This month I assembled the top and quilted it on my sewing machine with vertical and horizontal lines.
The back and binding.
Now it's ready to go hug a wee one.
And sew on...

My brain went "Green Goddess" :-) fantastic finish!
Your quilt is awesome! From my reading list (on blogger) the photo is very small. It makes the brighter green fabric disappear. It looks like there are holes and I can see the landscape through the quilt. It's such a cool effect. Bravo for another beautiful finish. ;^)
Another delightful Contessa joins the noble family!
The greens are fabulous and with nature's greens in the background, the photos are even better. Very cool quilt!
