April RSC 2024, Part 2

Hi Quilting Friends,

April has been a very busy month, with a road trip to see the solar eclipse, and then Mr. Fix-It’s brother and sister-in-law visiting from Montana for the following weekend. We attended a baby shower earlier today, but I’ve managed to squeeze in one more YELLOW project in between all of the other fun. Here we go!

Place Mat

The place mat began its life as an orphan block, left over from this baby quilt that I made several years ago. (The image colors don’t match, but I don’t know how to fix it. It is actually closer to the colors on the quilt image.) SEW adorable!

I cut the orphan block apart, sewed it back together again, and then added borders on each side to change it from a square into a rectangle. It is more pink than YELLOW, but I don’t care. I stitched a FMQ “Circuitboard” design with YELLOW thread, and added a YELLOW binding from my scrap bin. (Practice and more practice is helping me to improve my FMQ skills. “Circuitboard” is my current obsession.)

I hope that the rest of April is great for you! I’m counting down the days until the end of May (when school is out, and I retire after 25 years of teaching secondary sciences).

Happy quilting,

Sharon
