My first table topper is finished...
"Green Days"...
I was able to use up old bindings
on this one, too...
Here is the back:
[Photo washed out--colors are a lot more vibrant]
You can see the patched together bindings
that I used leftover from my bigger
quilts for the grandkids'
"Going Away to College"
quilts...
;)))
**************************
And
Here is the 2nd finished topper:
I decided to use leftover black & white
binding strips which I sewed together
Here is the reverse which shows the cutlery
fabric and the binding fabrics, too...
Plus, I figured out a little helpful
way to fold the binding corners--
so I didn't need to get up
and go to my big ironing board
↧↧↧↧
Why didn't I think of this before??
All I know is that the longer you
make quilts the more you
learn
even after
some 40-odd years of
makings...
😊💖😊
Both toppers are approximately
24" square...just perfect for my
square table in front of
our fireplace
(photo 1 above)
and I used up the end of my
Charm Squares
Y A Y!!!
***********************
Now I will be moving onto
leftover layer cakes and
jelly rolls.
This way there is not a whole lot of
cutting going on as my hands
have really been playing up after
I rotary cut...
This has been a good chance to
try out a "new-to-me" block
also; and I plan on picking
another block that I haven't
tried before as I move through my
"stash bashing"...
**********************
Three full bags of fabrics went out
yesterday to "Hartsprings"--
[my charity of choice around here
as they will come and pick
up your donations ]
along with leftover
Project Life scrapbooking cards.
It felt so good to see them go
to a worthy cause...
*******************
Soooooo,
this weekend I will have to
re-organize what's left of my
1/2 yds. and Fat Quarter fabrics
after my 2nd round of
de-stashing...
And
I plan to do another
de-stash
round for the
Autumn pick-up...
Who knew how many fabrics I had
collected over the years?????
There were a lot of surprises
in my closet shelves.
And
I haven't even taken down the
storage boxes yet....
😟
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I hope your upcoming weekend will be
a good one...
hugs, Julierose
