One More Quilt

I completed this quilt top about 5 years ago in a class on color.  The goal of this class was to step out of our usual color palette.  I think this quilt looks preppy:  pink and green.



 
This quilt is 62"x69".  It is a gift for a college friend who has been having some health issues.  The back is peacock pinwale corduroy. 

 It reminds me of my college years at William and Mary (1980-1984).  Lots of the Greek girls wore  bright florals in pink and green.  That is, when they weren't wearing plaid skits and clogs.  ( I spent hours in the chemistry lab, so my  college wardrobe was old, holey jeans, T-shirts and sneakers.)

I like the pink and green color palette! Complementary color schemes tend to be so visually stimulating.
