To end June, and begin July, I have a small finish to share! Over the weekend I was still in the "just playing" mood, and inspired by the small bit of that white floral on the left side of this photo, I pulled some reds, yellows, greens, and a blue Grunge to play with.
They turned into eight small string blocks... 4 inches finished...
Which turned into this little tabletopper... 8 x 16 inches.
I found the cutest fabric in my stash for the backing!
This is perfect for the top of the little chest that I decorate for seasons and holidays, and just in time for July!
Now, back to my regularly scheduled projects!

Sometimes, these little diversions from the plan result in great finishes! I sometimes get distracted by leftovers as well…. Gail at the cozy quilter
