I looked up the definition of Green in Wikipedia to see what they say - click here. One of the things that I noted was that the color green is restful to the eye and they said studies show that a green environment can reduce fatigue. As a quilter, surrounded by colors all day long, I am always interested in reading about colors.
Thanks for helping me compile a list of green names.
Ok... so what should I name the Green Donation Quilt?
Please take a moment to vote!
You could win 1 yard of 108" wide quilter's blenders green fabric. That is 36" by 108" wide. It would make a great outside border and is perfect for a binding for any quilt! It's the green fabric I used for the backing, last border, and the binding. I carry this green on my website at Fabrics - 30 Extra Wide Fabrics.
I will be doing a random drawing from those who leave a vote...

I think, as it's going to be raffled for a hospice, it should be (Lie Down in) Green Pastures.
I like Emerald Isle or the Turtle Shell one someone else suggested :)
So many good ones, Marcia, I think I'll vote for two! Green Acres and Forever Green. So many great green fabrics in that quilt!
emerald terraces describes its creativity to me
I like Emerald Terraces or Evergreen Swirls, maybe a combination - Emerald Swirls.
Hope you have some luck with the naming of this quilt. It is too lovely to not have a perfect name.

Lots of great ideas. Green Goddess is a wonderful one. I also thought of "Think Green". Can't wait to hear. :)
I like "Salad Greens" because of the varity of the color green. Thanks for the giveway.
I kind of like Dragon's Lair. That's what this quilt looks like to me :)
I still love my Spring surprise but I think that Emeral Isle is also a fantastic name! Greetings

I like Green Acres! As it does look like farmers fields when they're all green when you fly over in a plane. :)
Irish Countryside gets my vote. It is a beautiful quilt! :o)
Emerald Terraces gets my vote! The quilt is so beautiful!
I like Emerald Terraces. I think it's a wonderful name!
I really like "Emerald City" because it evokes the look of a city with all of the blocks.
Beautiful Quilt, btw! My vote is for Emerald City.
"Whispering Pines" gets my vote - but if this quilt were mine I would definitely name it "Renewal".

I like Emerald City. Beautiful quilt!
I still say it looks like Emerald City to me.
My vote is for Green Beans - I like the whimsy of it. Beautiful quilt.
Irish Countryside...exactly what it looks like. Absolutely beautiful quilt.
Starting with the definition you found, I looked up antonyms of 'fatigue' and one of them was 'spirit'. Putting that together with my favorite from your list, I come up with 'Spirit of the Emerald City'.
Good luck choosing! It is beautiful! Someone is going to be so happy to receive it :)
I like the name Emerald City. It's a very beautiful quilt.
There are a couple I like but Shades of Spring is my favourite. The quilt is beautiful.
Beautiful quilt, I like Evergreen Swirls!
I think Emerald City would be a good name for your quilt. It is beautiful.
wow! you got some great suggestions.
My vote is for Hope Springs Greeternial.
I like Scenic Beauty. It reminds me of all the beauty in nature.
Hi Marcia. Your quilt is so beautiful.Someone will be a very happy person! I like the name Green With Envy or Irish Delight for a name for the quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
My fav is Leap Frog.....not sure why, I'm just partial to it! LOL
Evergreen Spring is my favorite (after my own of Evergreen Candles). Thanks for the unexpected giveaway.
I vote for the name Leap Frog.
i like the green goddess
First Marcia ~ I wanted to say I'm sorry for not being around lately. Family things pulled me in all directions with one being a scary thing which meant a trip to MI.
Anyway, I think the names given are all good but, I'm going to add another because of where it's going. Those receiving help from that organization and their families will always remember the caring staff and the name of their organization. And because it serves all medical conditions from what I could tell on their website, which I assume could be part of their reason in giving the name to their organization although I could be wrong.
Anyway, I like the name "Rainbows of Green".
And how awesome your quilt will be hanging in the theatre. How long will it be there before the auction? I am not positive but, I am thinking we may go there for our wedding anniversary in a few months and it would be awesome to see your quilt in person. Of course, it's only about a 45 minute drive so I could talk hubby into a quick little road trip to go see it once I know it's over there too. :)
I like Whispering Pines, but also Green Acres (loved the show!).
What about "It ain't easy being green" for a name...heeheehee.
I vote for Evergreen. Its a beautiful quilt. Love it!
Living in the mountains as I do, my vote is for "Whispering Pines". Lots of great choices, though!
I like Spring Greens for the name.
I think Evergreen Swirls !! Cool!
LEap Frog!
I LIKE 'FIELDS OF GREEN'!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
