Saint Patrick's Day topper
Gotta hurry on this one, something green to celebrate the month of March!
Made from scraps, a four patch with foldy corners on three sides. and green scraps that measure 2 1/2 " squares. The light backround squares that you make foldy corners with are 1 1/2 " squares. I made three 4 patch blocks for each shamrock.The fourth lite backround 4 1/2 " square has a green stem is appliqued diagonally and a foldy 3" square added to bottom to edge finish the stem. I sewed four blocks together and put a 3" border around ( that only took 2 - 3" wof strips. Now I need to layer and quilt and bind. No formal pattern , just drew on graph paper.
I have been planning on what block to do for the block exchange with Brenda Peterson's group of ladies. And I finally choose Cake Stand
I made a total of thirteen blocks and I am adding a few finishing touches of my own. Like adding a bird in the lower corner.
Also a flower with two leaves. All I have left to add is the yo yo sewn down in center of the flower.
The friendship stars we have been collecting for a quilt for Habitat for Humanity are behind Colleen pinned on our display board.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting for a spell! Martha.
