Also, I decided that I should alternate the black and greens with the whites to keep it from being too dark. SO... for now, this is my plan -- we'll see how it plays out in fabric as I continue to make squares.

Should be quilting but
I'm still making boxed squares and playing with this design -- I didn't really plan much more than I wanted green/black/white. I liked Teri's suggestion to add red to one center square but decided it needed several red centers and then decided it even needed 3 red squares.

That will be a gorgeous quilt!
I really like how you are lightening it with more white and the red really adds a wonderful dash.

I love it!
As they would say on Facebook, Karen likes this.
Excellent use of color and placement. It is really stunning.
Luv it! The red really adds a pop. Well done!
The reds really make it jazzy! Nice design, Mary.
I really like it!

I love the added red squares, but am not sure how "manly" they are. Did you ask your son? Some guys (like my brother) are v e r y conservative with colors.
Oooohhh.....Stunning! I love the updates.
I like the addition of red... (But I liked the "Dark" version too...) The dark seemed very masculine & classy... I thought that it could live in a nice living room...
I like the changes. Especially the red. Can't wait to see it develop.
Loving the red touches ... I don't think it detacts from the "manliness" of the quilt ... makes it more interesting. Good job!

It's perfect.
Adding the reds gave it a lot more life! Good job, great inspiration (for me!). 8-)

LOVE IT!!! Thumbs up. ;-)
Love the colors and the layout Mary. What size strips are you using?
Really like the way the red pops!
WOW, just a little red and this has made such a difference, mind you I liked it before. jan in uk :-)
the red gives it just what it needs - and I agree with adding 3 boxes that are red. :)
Your EQ pic looks great and I'm sure the actuall quilt will look even better.
Love from Texas!

The red really livens the whole thing up. It's going to be gorgeous.
I usually go for bright wild colors, but I really like that... the small splashes of red are wonderful... love the border too!
Great design! I like that you added just a few reds to it!
Oh I like it!!! Simple yet striking. Well done!
Yes, yes. Good choices!
A guaranteed hit!
Completely adorable...the red makes it...I would make that in a New York minute!
I love green, the red gives it movement, are you using the same size blocks, the ones we did for the Hapy blocks?.
Looks great!
Hello Mary!
This quilt will really look great!
I always wonder how you manage to quilt and patch so many quilt tops.
I love your work!!!
