Patchwork Topper for the Kitchen

 Yesterday I finished a small patchwork table/counter topper for my kitchen.  I cut out and sewed 2 1/2" squares that I had left over from the table runner that I made last month.  I fussy cut a couple of birds squares from the fabric to give it some interest.  It looks great in the kitchen and coordinates with the table runner.

Remember this?  I had finished it last month at my sewing retreat.  When I go on my retreats, I like to bring at least one small project so that I had something finished when I get home.  They both look nice in the kitchen.  My old table runner was getting stained and it was time for something new!

It looks bright and fresh for spring.
