Garden Bug 

This week's bundle features ladybugs, small dots & blenders - with orange as the focal color!

You'll receive 1 Fat Quarter of each:

1. Luv Bugs Orange Floral - Benartex/Kanvas
2. Small Dots White/Orange - Riley Blake
3. Just Color Red - Studio E
4. Imagine Plus's Black - Windham
5. Painter's Canvas Tangerine - Michael Miller
6. Basically Low Typewriter Text Black - Red Rooster
7. Basic Brights Red Gingham - Windham
8. Swiss Dots Orange with White Dots - Riley Blake

I had so much fun with these fabrics!  I really love the focal print in the bundle - that's where I got my inspiration for this table topper.  This is a simple project - I just made a nine patch block and then added some corner triangles to make the block "on point" - that way I had some free space to add some cute appliquéd flowers!

I used the main flower in the orange print as my inspiration for the appliqué  - and created these cute daisy flowers and placed them in each corner.  I secured the appliqué on with some fun sketch stitching in black thread - I love this type of stitching because it is supposed to be imperfect and it really makes those flowers stand out! 

For the quilting, I did some small meandering all around the background fabric and straight line quilting within the nine patch block.  I love to combine both types of quilting - it creates a really fun texture!
