| 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! |
