Table Topper

Four women from church are getting together each Thursday night to "play". This is what we did in the last 2 weeks.  Each person did their own with their own fabric colors. Here is mine.  I sewed these squares together at home and brought this to our Thursday night group.

 We then cut them apart with a cool twisted ruler that Melissa has.  After resewing them together I ended up with this 20 inch square table topper.
 This twisted ruler is so quick and fun.  You magically get to see plain square blocks get turned into pinwheels.  I put a yellow border around it when I was finished and am in the process of sewing on the brown bias tape trim.  I made this bias tape to use as the trim.
Bias tape is so much fun to make.  You get to use your special fabric to match whatever project you are doing.  It is more versatile than the boring stuff from the store. I made a big  batch of this since this is the same bias tape I will be using for my big quilt when I get it back from the long-arm quilter. I had a fun Sunday. Tomorrow....back to the wedding dress. Sara is coming for another fitting next week. I will have the sleeves and the zipper in by then.
