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.

challenge quilt

fabric choices
old Amish color fabrics from YEARS ago!
threads, etc.
greens are leftovers from "other" quilts
haven't tried appliqueing in years so some curves are coming out a tad  rough
fun to do and light is good today so will probably get it finished



 
appliqueing finished

not the smoothest but fun to do

waiting for the quilting
here is one of the tins i tried covering with some of the fabrics we have considered for groomsmen pants!! Each tin is lined with plastic so we may put fun "greens" in them and use them as accents around the house/reception area...each fabric is mod podged onto the tim and can be embellished later
