Design Wall Monday is here again. See more design walls on Judy's Small Quilts and Doll Quilts blog.
Our trip to Palm Springs Sewtopia weekend will be here before we know it. I looked around the sewing room for a project already in the works and found a box with table runner I adapted from one of Kim Brackett's quilt designs. This one is called Beachside Bungalow, from the Scrap Basket Beauties book.
The idea was to use up most of the leftover jelly roll pieces I had bought while shopping for placemat fabrics with daughter Erica a few years ago. The jelly roll was at JoAnn's fabrics and Erica liked ONE of the fabrics a lot, a pretty mauve. I used mostly neutrals from stash for those placemat fronts, and some of the brights from the jelly roll for the back.
Lots of pieces in this project. I chose one of my favorite Kona neutrals, Shale, a gray-green, to go with all the brighter colors.
..And sliced off a corner at the wrong angle. Fortunately a rummage through the leftover solid scrap drawer yielded a large enough piece of Kone Shale to recut the square. Since these photos I have completed sewing up a lot of the A and B Block Parts and filled a project box. I've got the remaining two-patches paired and at the sewing machine to stitch up. I will be all ready to layout and sew sew sew. Pondering what second project I will work on....

Scrap bins are so helpful in situations like that. Love those bright colors with the gray. Happy stitching this week.
I've got the scraps, that's for sure! (I keep saying that...) I tried to find your cute little cutting mat when I was in the States but didn't locate it at the two stores that I visited. Another search another year!
