Green Guitar

A green guitar! The RSC color is evergreen for May. I chose Emerald for my birthstone however, and this is my green guitar 
Pattern source is paper panache
there was much decision making required of Mr. Not afraid of color. He was called in to consult on the scraps used this week as he's the guitarist in the home. 



We auditioned many scraps, the pattern in them, the shade differences and although many were called, three were chosen. 
The base of the guitar is sparkling mottled green, rich as malachite. 
 we nearly chose the fabric on the neck for the base but the pattern was pretty wild for quiet Drew who says his favorite guitar is the blue one because...
It's what he's used to!

I'm a fan of green... and I love this green guitar. I always wished to have the emerald as my birthstone, but sadly I only got the sapphire :o(

Sounds like Mr. Not Afraid of Color is Mr. Afraid of Change! Love the green guitars! Actually love all the guitars! It will make a lovely quilt for Mr. Not Afraid of Color. Happy Birthmoth! Today is my husband's birthday. I guess I should go and bake him a cake.

Ooh, green. Maybe Drew should buy himself a green guitar too.

Sara said...

Your paper pieced blocks are always so cute. The guitars are just genius! Last year your cows and flamingos were adorable too.

Maria said...

Happy Birthday! Drew should strum "happy birthday to you" on his blue guitar:-)

Your line-up of guitars is great in all the colors, but I do love the emerald one, especially! I see that you've already made a blue one to match Mr. Not Afraid of Color's favorite one!

That's the best guitar collection I've ever seen!
Your paper-pieced blocks are always stunning, no matter what you make. I always love seeing what you're making!

Snappy guitars, the brown and the purple ones have the perfect fabric!

AlidaP said...

Very beautiful fabric choice! You guitars looks very cool, thanks for sharing!!

Kate said...

Very fun guitars! The green one is very pretty, but my favorite is the blue one too. Too bad My Guy doesn't have a blue guitar, he has a black one and a white one.

Danice G said...

The guitars are very colorful and pretty. Green is my favorite color, thought not my birthstone, which is red (garnet).

Sharon - IN said...

Happy Birthday! Nice set of guitars!

Ivani said...

Pretty guittars! My son has red drums (LOL)
I had problems with the internet, from Saturday to Tuesday morning, almost lost the RSC link party.

JanineMarie said...

Mr NAOC's blue guitar is gorgeous. I like your emerald one, though. Well, no, I like them all. Mr. NAOC is a great consultant. The secret to being a good consultant is to be able to make good suggestions even when they are not your personal choice.

Susan said...

Terrific green guitar, and the real life blue one is just as nice!
