This table topper was re-created from a pic seen online several years ago. I called it Carol's Table Topper and I sure don't know who posted the original pic. I've tried to be better about labeling my photos now. I liked it so much, so I re-drew it in EQ in somewhat 9-patch sections, and I left out the outside corners that made it square. I wanted it to lay over a little worktable I use next to my evening stitching station in front of the TV with DH.
I pulled some teals which seem to be one of my favorite colors, if it is possible to have a favorite color. When you're a quilter, you tend to love them all. I cut and pieced it last fall, then it sat. So recently I finally stitched the free motion quilting with assorted designs in the different shapes. Then came the binding. So it sat sgain as I knew this would not be a pleasant job. Actually, it was worse than that....The task from Hades. I thought I could tackle the inside corners and must confess it went awful! Same with hand stitching down on the back. It was horrible and I won't subject myself to this particular misery again. Okay, we can't expect to be good at everything. Only God is perfect. Yay!
It measures 35 inches point to point. I used a few shades of Glide threads.

That is gorgeous!! You did a great job figuring out the pattern, and then chose wonderful colors.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous tabletopper, Kat! It looks like a complicated design, especially for the binding, but you persisted and it was well worth it. That border fabric is really pretty!
