I like yellow. It's such a happy color and provides that bright spot to wherever it lands.
When I pulled my yellow scraps in early February, my gray fabric was still out from the first Project Quilting Challenge where we used gray and yellow pantone colors together. See that project here: Illuminating & Ultimate Gray.
I remembered how well I liked the color combination of yellow and gray, so went with it again. Apparently, someone else latched onto this long before me! Ha!
I give full credit to Kaye at her Miss Print blog for this Ziggy Zaggy table topper idea. I've had this pinned for a long time on my Table Runner board on Pinterest and it finally caught my attention long enough to make one....with a few variants to make it unique.
I also added a seminole patchwork border to each side. I used this tutorial at Geta's Quilting Studio. It was a bit tricky to center and add on for the right fit. Math is not my thing! My seam ripper got some use and I even seriously considered scrapping the whole border idea.
A good night's sleep helped and I conquered the seminole border the next day! I moved onto quilting a row on both sides of the seams of each block, plus just inside each smaller border block. Nothing fancy.
What a beautiful YELLOW (and gray) topper you created for the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge, Kathy! Did you manage to use up all the scraps from PQ12.1? Looking forward to seeing what you make next month.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the design. Your outer borders add so much to the quilt!
