Black and Pink Table Topper

Posted on March 2, 2018 by Barbara Frank

I was at a quilter’s garage sale last year when I spotted some plastic bags filled with precut fabric squares, coordinated to go together. They were so cute, and only $1 per bag, so I bought two. How could I go wrong?

It took me a little while to come up with an arrangement I liked, but by making some four-patches to break up the monotony of just squares, I quickly put them all together in a way that I like.

I free-motion quilted this piece using my beloved supermachine; it’s backed and bound with a light green bird print that had been in my stash for years. I still love it and was happy to find a use for some of it.

P.S. I didn’t need yet another table topper. I just can’t stop quilting!

Last week I posted about the Gardenvale table topper/wall hanging I made. Fortunately, I bought enough of the Gardenvale fabrics that I was also able to make this table topper, which uses gray as the coordinating solid instead of off-white:

I just love the prints in this line!

There’s no free-motion quilting on this one, just straight stitching. Here’s the back:

This table topper is for sale here. 🙂

Gardenvale Table Topper/Wall Hanging

I was at the Quilt Expo in Madison late last summer when I fell in love with a line of fabric called Gardenvale. I promised myself I would try to make something different from my usual projects, and this table topper is the result.
