Birthstone Project by Jacomina

 I learned something new with this challenge


The Taurus is the only zodiac sign that has two full precious gemstones:  the emerald and the sapphire. Emerald is not only Taurus’ birthstone, but also the one from May.  And I learned that sapphires come in a wide variety of colors. There are also pink, orange, yellow, purple, green and even colorless sapphires. The rarest color is a mix of orange and pink, it is called a
 padparadscha sapphire.

So that’s what I used: emerald green surrounded by padparadscha., a fabric with pink and orange!  The front of this lined bag is quilted with sparkling green metallic thread. 

Created by Jacomina de Regt for the Project QUILTING 16.4 Birthstone Challenge.
