I had hoped that blue would come up for July. I had made this one block from a packet I had purchased at Joanns many, many years ago - late 90's or early 2000 range. It was in the discount bin with instructions and fabrics included. I found it earlier this year and decided to attempt the round robin that was happening around blog land but I only added the first round of a checkerboard. It was around 15 inches square.... a good table topper size.
Being gone on Vacation away from a sewing machine for the first half of the month had me in a bit of a scramble coming home. I had this in mind as a topper assuming dark blue popped up for July. I found a backing and decided to add some hand quilting to it. Today I found a plain dark blue and made and attached the binding by machine to the front and then by hand before dinner. I think it turned out pretty cute.
Linking up Saturday with the RSC and on Friday with Joy at the Table Scrap Challenge.

That makes a great tabletopper, Deb! I love blue and white together. Good way to use up an orphan block!
that block reminds me of a whirly-gig - cute!
Turned out very nice indeed.
Hooray for a quick TABLE SCRAPS finish, Deb!! Well done on a good use of an orphan block.
This is adorable and what a fun piece to decorate with through the year. I too like to take random blocks and make cute little quilts. Happy quilting.
A terrific finish for the blue month!
