Table Scraps Challenge March-Flowers-Yellow

 

March came in “Like A  Lamb”where I live. The weather was mild. I was excited for the color yellow selected by Angela at So Scrappy. And Joy from The Joyful Quilter, gave the prompt flowers! I’m ready for flowers. I dumped my yellow scrap basket.!

After making some RSC blocks, I started on my table scraps project. There were lots of scraps. This rail fence pinwheel, used some gold! 

Using the same yellow, gold, and pink print I made  four hourglass blocks!. But I cut the original squares at 4.5” instead of the 4.25” as the directions read! Drat! 

So I remade the hourglass block in a different yellow! 

Then a churn dash block with some daisy fabric and a scrap of sunflower fabric. I had sunflowers on my mind.  🌻 for 🇺🇦! 

 Next a two toned pinwheel block. 

Then a simpler gold batik 9 patch.

Finally a spotted Ohio Star variation! 

Then I quilted with my favorite serpentine stitch! 

 

I decided to bind this little table topper with the backing, I had originally decided to use the same  fabric for the binding. So it’s only a change in technique. I followed this Tutorial  at Cluck Cluck Sew.

Allison used pins, but I normally use Wonder Clips. I especially like these wider ones on the corners for this technique. 

Don’t mind the pearl headed pin! It’s my reminder to finish a half a line of quilting!  

And it's done!

Here is the very busy back!

And a close up of the label. A triangle scrap frame a string block, written with green Sharpie and fused on with wonder under and secured with some wonky X stitches with variegated floss! 

A final resting place. 

On the coffee table in the living room. Complete with some “fake” sunflowers! Probably they are really rudbeckia! In yellow and an orangey red!
