My Table Scraps project for August was inspired by many things - the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for August: aqua, a creative challenge from Melva Loves Scraps - see here, and the added challenge from Joyful Quilter: hot flash!
Let me show you what I came up with!
I started with the creative challenge from Melva's list - "fussy cut a square from a favorite fabric and add borders to create a table topper." As I was sorting through my aqua scraps for my RSC blocks early in the month, I came across this little chunk.
Mermaids! Some with aqua hair and tails.
The background is also aqua, although it doesn't show very well in this photo.
I fussy cut a 4.5 inch square with two mermaids in the center and started adding borders. Did you notice that some of them also have orange hair or tails? They must be having hot flashes! (August has been a very hot month here, lol!)
Orange for the hot flashes, and then some aqua -
maybe to help these girls cool off?!
But, you know, it's just been really hot, and the orange took over, until I added some cool, bubbly blue to finish this table topper off.

And, as I often show you - the finished Table Scraps project in my favorite place, paired with my favorite mug and morning beverage. I got both the mermaid fabric and the mug when we visited Cape Cod a few years back.
Sharing at all my favorite weekend link-ups!
