Announcing the ‘Mixed Greens’ Reader Challenge Finalists!

Gardeners know that the color green can be a neutral, especially with the abundance of color our flower and vegetable gardens provide! The flowers and vegetables we harvest are nourishing our bodies and our souls. Non-gardeners, too, deeply appreciate the bounty our earth provides and we can celebrate nature together.

We challenged readers to create a quilt featuring favorite flowers or plants and our mailbox exploded with a bounteous harvest of creativity—it was so hard to choose from the dozens and dozens of beautiful quilts! Thank you for your continued submissions to our Reader Challenges, your work brightens our inbox and expands our artistic minds. With that in mind, we are pleased and proud to announce the finalists for this challenge!
