A Seasonal Fruit Smoothie

Recently, I've had occasion to revisit the Fruit Smoothie design. I chose pastel, Eastery colours and sewed four blocks which is just the right size for a small table mat. It's fun to twist and turn the blocks to decide on the layout. It was tempting to stitch this shape for a runner.

For my round table however, it made more sense to go with a circle. The fabric is Mirror Ball Dot by Michael Miller, which has a nice sheen. It looks like a flower pieced in these colours.

To emphasize the spin, I quilted a fun, swirl design in the centre.

Yellow bias binding completed the outer edge.

It took less than an hour, start to finish, and gives a quick bit of spring colour for the table.

The daffodils from the Canadian Cancer Society should be open by day's end.

Shortly, I will post pictures of more samples of Fruit Smoothie, stitched by the Maple Leaf Quilters in B.C.
