Thread Head Quilt Along week 1

Today I made the first blocks for Joanne's Thread Head Quilt Along. This is going to be so much fun!
My background will be a variety of green prints for a soft blended look. Not sure about the color of setting triangles. I have invited members of my guild to participate in Joanne's Quilt Along so we can show and tell together at our meetings!
