Another possible Table Topper

 
I've taught this class a few times. It's relatively simple to make, but it is quilted. In theory we could probably eliminate the batting.

Fabric Requirements:
For best results all three fabrics should have good contrast in color and/or scale.

For top: 3 fat quarters or 3 ¼-yard cuts
For backing: ¾-yard
For batting: 26” square

The finished size is about 25-26" across. I would rate this one more difficult than the first one I posted. Maybe not more difficult to sew, but more time-consuming.

Possible Table Topper

 

I was looking for something else in some of my quilt magazines and came across this project. Done in greens/pinks it could be very effective. The size is 15" across from flat side to flat side and 17" from point across to point. It's actually not quilted because it has no batting, just a fabric backing which is folded to the top to make the "binding". In the same issue of the magazine there is an ad for the kit to make it which says, "This project's so easy you can make several in an evening." If this sounds somewhat interesting, I could make a mockup in either some pinks and greens or Christmas colors. Let me know what you think. Also, bear in mind that the "star" could easily be eliminated at it is really just added folded fabric that make the "negative spaces", thereby leaving a hexagon in the center.
