We received our 50* Ghost Peppers a couple of weeks ago and they are gorgeous. Ready for some summer hanging.
I took mine out to the backyard when it was mid to high 40* and also got a chance to take it out in Oregon this 1st weekend of May (not sure of the temperature)

Specs:
outer - Morrocan Blue 67 w/ orange stitching; inner - Burnt Orange Taffeta w/ blue stitching; snaps; 900+1; 70"
outer - Saddle Brown 67 w/ blue stitching; inner - Moss Green 67 w/ brown stitching; snaps; 900; 75"

The quilts look great, but I think if I had to do them again, I would pair the Moss Green w/ green stitching so that it shows up more.

Here are some pictures if anyone is considering what colors to do (this took us forever to decide - so many choices and combinations)
Depending on the angle of light the colors look a little darker or brighter. We had a bit of rain this past weekend, so I was not able to get outdoor pictures.

Pretty sweet looking quilts! I love the chevron baffle design & the contrasting orange thread really jumps out against the Moroccan Blue. :thumbup:

I'm waiting on my Operator in Saddle Brown Argon 67 outer, Burnt Orange Argon 67 inner, with orange stitching. Your post makes it even more unbearable!! Thanks a lot! :)

lol. good things are always worth the wait :)

thanks all. I think the Moroccan Blue color is my favorite. I have an HG TQ with that color and mostly went with the orange for the taffeta material, so I am glad it worked out well.
The Moss Green was my main worry because it always seemed to look a little different in other pictures - like either more yellow or more gold and not so 'green'. I would describe it as a really light olive mixed with tan and shaded with gold. (i think i will have to try that with a paint set someday and see if it comes out) Hopefully that helps someone with a similar question about it.

Those baffles are a work of art. Very stylish.

Yes. George is really great, not only in his work, but during my correspondences with him too. I think an underquilt will be next on my list :)
