I wanted to share my finished table topper with you . . . this one took a while, but I love it. I began this for Sunni's Farmers Wife in Your Life blog hop, and I thoroughly enjoyed making the squares and designing a home for them.
I used the fabrics from the Butterfly in the Crossroads squares (I've heard from some quilters that this is also called the Tulip block) for the scrappy binding.
I prefer a narrow binding on my toppers, so I cut the fabric strips just 1.5 inches wide. I know, some of you are gasping at my maverick ways, but I do use a single thickness of fabric on some toppers, since no one will be pulling it over them and snuggling . . . I figure they don't have to be quite as durable. It makes for a nice, narrow edge, and I think the color changes add something to the topper.
I have some other projects started, and I hope to show you some peeks soon. Till then, hope you find some time to sew - and if you need more fabrics or supplies, please visit our lovely sponsors!

It really turned out nicely. I do like the binding color changes.

ReplyDeleteJacque, nice job on your table topper. Nothing unusual about a narrow binding. I always let my piece tell me how wide the binding should be, but on small pieces I usually always do a narrow single layer binding.
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable!!! The colors are perfect for spring. I love scrappy binding...great choice =D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a wonderful finish. I think the multi colored border really was the perfect touch.
