Time to Sew

It's been a really fun night so far. I was getting restless and wanted to do some sewing. I've got a ton of blocks for two different BOM's but that didn't interest me at all. Then I remembered that I had picked up a kit at our last Friday BOM for a 4th of July table topper. All the pieces were cut out for us so I figured it couldn't be that hard to put together and I was right it was a snap. First you sewed together the wedges and I pressed as I went. Next up and it's not that easy to see you made prairie points out of the same fabrics and placed them face down on the pie. Then that was placed on a square of fabric and I sewed around the edges and you turned it through the hole in the center. Out popped the table topper and I pressed the prairie points. The last thing was to take the star and fuse it to the center and then with a button hole stitch I stitched it down. Any simplier it couldn't have been. Not even any batting. The coloring on the picture didn't turn out great but it's really cute in person. Next it's time to go through my stash and come up with some red white and blues and make another one for my Mom.
