Summertime Crows

The countertops in my 'new to me' kitchen are black.  So I want to cozy them up.  That means a new table topper for my farmhouse table. 

This is wool applique on cotton fabric. I decided not to center the wool block because so many times that vase of flowers or basket of bread cover it up.  The star block is a block I found on Pinterest.  There were many pieces to cut out, but it was the perfect size finishing at 14.5 inches.  Quilting is the next step.

What a brilliant idea, it's so true that often the focal point of a design is lost in the center. Great table topper!
