NOTE: Why I chose the colors I chose. I wanted this square to represent the forests of Maine. If you have ever visited the Mountains of Maine, you will know what I am talking about! The forests in Maine are lush and beautiful and you get a great sense of peace when you hike through them! So for this square, I used the colors that to me represent the colors I see in the forests of Maine. The center of the square represents the forest floor, the brown area represents the trunks of the trees and the dark green area is the canopy looking up from the forest floor and the camouflage outer edge is the color of the trees looking down at the forest from above.

Random Quick Tip!

Easy Quilt Binding Holder
When making cotton quilt binding, as you iron it, let the length of it fall into a clean one gallon sized bucket and then when you go to sew it onto your quilt, you can take the whole bucket, to your sewing machine, set it on the floor between your feet, pin the beginning end of your binding to your quilt where you want to start it and while you are sewing it onto your quilt it will easily come up from the bucket as you place and stitch the binding to the quilt.
