I have a commission quilt(s), and request.

I met with the forest service last week and they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the wilderness areas in the US. There are 3 in Alabama, and they are having a photo contest to celebrate. They would like a queen quilt for the grand prize and a wall hanging for second. They would also like a wall hanging for the main office and one for the office at each wilderness area. She had some suggestions and we settled on the strip twist pattern with an applique block for each wilderness area. The prizes need to be ready by the middle of August, the others by the end of the year.

I have the applique blocks under control, but could use some 2 1/2 inch green strips if anyone has some available. As long as it is 2 1/2 by 8 1/2 I can use it. I am willing to repay for fabric and postage. It seems I have been stuck on greens for several years, I guess that is what I get for making so many forest quilts.

Thanks everyone,
beverly

    I emailed you via the GardenWeb by clicking on your email link on your GW member page yesterday. I have no idea why it did not go through.???

    Beverly I went back to try to email you a 2nd time via GW your email link on your member page, but it does not look like you have a complete email address, ... it just says grammyp and has nothing else at the end of it? Can you try to email me and if that goes through then I can email you back, cause that way I should have a complete email address for you that way?

    Best to you and thanks,
    Sandra

    I don't know what has changed on my profile. I have re-entered my e-mail and updated my profile, but nothing seems to fix it. Guess I will check with GW and see what they can do.

    What a neat project! Do you prefer exact 2 1/2 x 8 1/2, or would you like them a little oversize? Any shade of green?

    Janice, I would prefer larger if possible, and any shade green is great. If I have pieces left over I will make them 2 1/2 inch squares and use them in another project. Thanks so much.

    Beverly the email address I use for GW I do not check often, and have not checked it in about 3 months, until I checked it this morning and saw your April 18th reply message. Sorry am so late in getting you a reply, it's just not my primary email address and I only use it for GW. Glad you got the thread and liked it and were able to put it to good use.

    Best to you and thanks bunches,
    Sandra
