For this month's Table Scraps challenge to use our scraps to make something with flowers on it, I made a small table topper 12" x 12" using scraps from making a bed quilt of flowering snowball blocks.
Yep I keep it all... all scraps! I layered them on stabilizer, then couldn't pick a background, so I made one with green scraps.
I just layed them on the peltex batting, overlapping, and started quilting
Cotton threads in a wide variety of colors, gold metallic around the center dots.
no binding, just a double layer of zig zag stitch
I actually wanted to make all these, and will... the small one at the bottom will become a journal cover, the one at the left will be a spring banner, from a painting I did of a simple yellow flower.
I improv pieced sections to cut into petals and plan to use this hand dyed fabric background and keep it simple with pretty stitching
while I like the petals I might put this sheer over them
I decided to do these blocks for the RSC this year along with random projects.
from AQS newsletter, in 1930's print scraps from a bed quilt made years ago
did you know about this , the quiltfolk people are doing a project from book covers
and they do a studio tour too...
finished "glamingo" this week and the post is here
happy stitching!

You've blown my mind this morning! These are so beautiful. The little piece will make a fabulous journal cover. Wish my brain worked like yours!
Fabulous flower projects. I had to click on your finished flowers to bring it up close and personal. So I could peruse all the yellow and greens! Absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see the journal cover and the Spring Banner. Wonderful projects, LeeAnna!
I wish my brain worked like hers too! Isn't she creative?
Your flower piece is wonderful, LeeAnna! The second one where you're using crumb blocks to make flower petals is neat, too. I like that idea for the crumbs. Glamingo turned out amazingly!
Oooooh, LeeAnna, love all the art but, that flower piece is wonderful!
Your work is always so gorgeous!
So many beautiful yellow flower variations. Such a wonderful variety.
I am always amazed at your art.
All three of those projects are SEW super cute, LeeAnna!! The thing about the banner is that with the addition of some PINK, it will work perfectly for the April 2022 TABLE SCRAPS Challenge. :o))
Thanks for linking to the March 2022 TABLE SCRAPS Link Party with your darling super scrappy flower topper!
Love your artwork! Wish I had that kind of talent. Nice job.
I love the yellow flower and using a variety of greens for the background was inspired. Well, you are always inspiring.

Beautiful piece! I love how bright and happy it is. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Hi LeeAnna, what a lovely table topper! Good luck with all of your projects!
I love the sunflower. It is beautiful. I look forward to seeing the journal cover when it is finished.
I'm glad you've been so busy. Lovely projects.
Your ability to take plain ole scraps and turn them into something fabulous just blows me away. Well done.
Very cool flowers, LA. You’ve got me wanting to give it a try, Maybe after I finish taxes.
Very pretty! Scraps of fabric into art!!
I really, really like that table topper. So pretty!
I so enjoy your creativity. You come up with things I would never think of, and it helps me think out of the box more with some of my projects!
Lovely and very creative flower!
Your tablescape is lovely! Such bright yellows against the scrappy greens are a great choice. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
Your 3D flower is wonderful! I love your other yellow projects, the improv pieced petals are really pretty. Great RSC blocks too!
Thank you for sharing, and linking up ;)
