This month our prompts from Joy were Green+the letters B and U
Well......
Green was easy! I have lots of green inspiration.
I thought to cut some green fabric received from Pretti as a prize a few years ago. Yes, years! Cause I wanted to save it for the perfect project. It was on the die cutter, but no triangles. In frustration, I cut with a rotary cutter and ruler and sewed two churn dash blocks
and then two crumb blocks cause there wasn't enough of the chili pepper fabric for more churn dashes.
A backing was chosen. Batting was constructed and some wavy quilting lines happened.
All ready for Cinco de Mayo! A margarita and some guacamole......
It's green. It's BOLD and BRIGHT and it's certainly not UNDERSTATED. But it might be UGLY to some. I have a friend who hates crumb blocks. But it's done, and I will use it if May and spring flowers ever get here!!
Linking up with The Joyful Quilter and ABC Table Scraps Challenge.
And ScrapHappy Saturday! It’s the only actual green that was done.
Piękne dzieło. Brawo ! Miłego weekendu:)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun little finish, Judy! I love the chili pepper print. I get the same reaction from local friends when I share things made with crumb blocks, lol! That's okay, you have lots of blogging friends who love them!
ReplyDeleteYour post about your blocks made me chuckle at the possibility that some may see your crumb blocks as “ugly”. I’m usually with your friend EXCEPT when the fabrics coordinate and blend, as yours do. Then I like them quite a lot. I love how you worked the alpha challenge letters into your project. Oh, Margie’s and Guacamole!!! Soon!
ReplyDeleteBold and bright, not understated (nor ugly!!) LOVE that you used up some gifted scraps and that you are ready for a fiesta, Judy! :o))
ReplyDeleteWhen you are new to quilting having fabric that goes several years back seems incredible. However, since I've been quilting (and recall a time when chili pepper fabric was dominating the shelves) fabric that goes back a few years seems brand new. Enjoy your Cinco de Mayo treat!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of crumb pieces. Judy. Your table topper is pretty. You know, I am all for the crumb blocks!!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of your green scraps. Love the combination of churn dash and crumb blocks. Works well.
ReplyDeleteI love the crumb blocks with the churn dashes! You did good - nice finish.
ReplyDeleteLove it! It will be perfect with a Margurita and chips!
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect little table mat for May.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, that will be perfect for Cinco de Mayo! Enjoy :-)
