Mind your Ps and Cs (Peas and Carrots, that is)

My sister and I are up to block 14 of our quilts this week....the Peas and Carrots block.

The green has a lot of pop as well and then the background fabric is a perfect mix of green lines and orange berries (flowers?) to go with it.

 My quilt is getting bigger! :)

And here is Kim's block, also sporting a delightful orange.

Hers has a subtle plaid print that I really like in the "carrots". And her green is a lot more true-to-life than mine!
