My next project will be a table topper for our dining room table or for the secretary in our foyer. Mike’s been lobbying for the topper for a while now. I bought two charm packs (5” precut fabric) of “Amethyst Magic” (that’s the triangular lavender/amethyst fabric in the two pictures above). The yellow fabric you see at the top will be sashing (narrow bands of fabric that set off the block). I cut fabric for one block and created the half square triangles (the amethyst and brown) and laid the block out.

We thought the brown and mottled blue fabric would look great. The picture on the left shows the brown fabric and the right shows both the blue and the brown. I thought to myself “Ugg” and showed the blocks to Mike. He said “Ugh” too. Somehow it’s too muddy. I’ll be off to the fabric stores here in town looking for lavender fabric and maybe burgundy for the sashing. This is one example of how fabric stash grows 😁
