Making a Spring Petals Table Topper along with The Crafty Quilter |
A spring table topper!
We'll be getting the instructions and tutorials on each Friday, to finish up the table topper on June 7.
This is one of Julie's table toppers |
So, I am getting ready for Spring at Susie's Sunroom !
Fabrics: all from my stash!
Petals- 16 selected 5 " squares from- Charm pack of Summersville Spring by lucie summers for Moda
Background- for low volume - a fat quarter left from a bundle of This 'N That by Nancy Halverson by Benartex AND some Grunge by Basic Grey Moda in a cream/gray
Triangles- Yellow Bella solid by Moda
16 charm pack petals laid out on top of the low volume background The yellow triangles will be on the sides |
I felt that my Summersville Spring charm pack was too busy to be used as the background fabric. (Even when I turned them to the back of the fabric, as Julie suggested.)
So I looked in my stash and found this soft gray swirly fabric ( This 'N That) and the gray/cream fabric (Grunge). I cut them into 5 inch squares ( 8 of each) and pieced them together in rows of 4.
Julie provides an excellent piecing tutorial on her blog. { here } I learned a lot from the week 2 lesson!
The next step in the Quilt-A-Long: I will be cutting out and applying the fusible applique' onto the petals!
It's not too late for you to sew your own table topper, too! There's even a variation of the pattern, which has no applique'. {here }
Look , Ma! No applique' ! |
I am so happy that it is Spring!
I'm off to my sewing room! |
Your petals will look so pretty in those bright and happy colors!
ReplyDeleteI think this is going to be perfect - spring-like, colourful and fresh-as-a-daisy.
ReplyDeleteA very cute design and the fabrics you chose are so bright and pretty Susie! It looks like it will be very cheery and perfect for welcoming in springtime.
ReplyDeleteLooking so lovely already! I love the pace of this sew along... Not overly demanding. Lots of good stuff is being made!
ReplyDeleteI like how you "auditioned" your fabric. Looks great already, can't wait to see more, Susie!
