This month our prompts from Joy for Table Scraps Challenged were Green+the letters B and U
Well.....
Green was easy! I have lots of green inspiration.
I had hoped to cut some triangle for HST on my new Go Big Cutter. If you read my blog you know about that debacle already. Hopefully by the first of April I will have a replacement in my sewing area.
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.
The bright green binding was the perfect compliment to the front and the back.
All ready for Cinco de Mayo! A margarita and some guacamole......
A few other projects were moved forward, 2 flimsies and backing and batting are at the long armer! She will have one done by the end of May! And Long May She Wave is headed toward the finish line. My other longarmer friend will be able to quilt it when she gets back from Cozumel! So I need to get the horizontal sashings on and the blue borders.
I'm linking up with Alycia for Finished or Not Finished Friday because this little topper is a finish after all!

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!!

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
What a great little quilt!!! The crumb blocks are so ecological! Who wants to throw away cute fabrics like that! Stunning binding and the cutest backing, too, Judy!!!
ReplyDeletefabric is just paint to use... crumb blocks can look clunky or blended and yours look just great! I love what you did with them, and the shading that happened around the bright greens. They are like a splash of lemon juice on fish, exciting. Oh and I have many of those fabrics too!

Oh, I have no recollection of sending that fabric to you. I don't even remember that fabric. But I am with you when it comes to guacamole. Ok. may be one margarita if Paul agrees to drive. May and Spring will be there soon and then we might wonder - where did April go :-) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteyou have great greens!! It makes you want spring to arrive Right Now!!!
ReplyDeleteand of course, churn dashes!! LOVE them!!!
