I hope this deep green works for what you are looking for, Sue! I enjoyed making this one. I wrote the instructions down correctly but still managed to cut to many squares of both fabrics, so I have an extra set of HST that I am sending you as well. I hope you can use them.

Charlotte Skyline
Sue asked about where we live. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, and have been here for 11 years. Charlotte is a big city, though I frequently forget how big it is and how many people really live here. While you often hear that everyone in Charlotte is a transplant, I actually know quite a few native Charlotteans.
North Carolina is generally thought of in three geographic parts: coastal, mountains, and Piedmont. The Piedmont is in the middle and that’s where I am. I like that I am about a 2 hour drive to the mountains and a 4-5 hour drive to the coast. I go to the mountains much more than the coast–I love the Blue Ridge Mountains!

This will be great Emily! Thankyou so much. And I know the extra HSTs will be handy – I have a few extra blocks to make. I have been having a brain fog in my sewing lately as well and cutting wrong and miscounting – sigh – so frustrating!!! Those mountains look gorgeous!

Great! I got them in the mail today. Postage was not high at all.

What a lovely place to live! I’ve only gotten to visit North Carolina but every time I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

That sounds like a very long drive to the coast, but maybe it’s because living on an island we are never that far from the sea in the UK. That’s a lovely pic of your city, somehow I always thought of you as a country girl.

I think of myself as a country girl!!!!!! I didn’t really realize how big Charlotte is when I moved here. I would gladly move somewhere more rural, but I don’t think my husband would like it. I’d rather be in the city with him than in the country without him! 🙂

I think of myself as a country girl, for sure! Charlotte doesn’t really feel as big as it is. I like to go on vacation in the country, in the mountains when I can. I’d love to live in smaller towns but I’m not sure my husband would be a fan of that. [ð]

I have always lived near the mountains and I cannot imagine it otherwise. That photo reminds me of my old stomping grounds in Montana! Beautiful!
That green block is lovely.
