As you can see from the photo above, I had a plan for a pieced border, and I had carefully cut all of the pieces.
Too bad that I wasn’t as careful as I thought when actually piecing the borders! By the time that I realized my mistake, I decided not to have a cry and a do over. I decided to just go with it.
It isn’t a masterpiece…it is a table topper…exactly what it was meant to be.
And it is finished.
I chose to quilt with the pantograph, Blue Star, from Urban Elementz. I don’t have a long arm set up, but I do have a Grace frame with a Juki set up. I am not good at it, but I try.
The fabric is busy, so the quilting design doesn’t show up well, but here is a close up:
I am embracing it.
Quilt On!

Glad you didn’t cry over it, but just went with it. It has its own unique twist and story, and it’s very pretty on your table!

Hi Laura! Well doesn’t that topper look nice on your table with the vase of flags?!! It’s very festive and perfect for the summer months. I really need to make something for myself. My last r/w/b table runner was lifted by Sue’s sister. You are inspiring me to get busy and make one! Great job. ~smile~ Roseanne

I am pretty happy with it, Roseanne, in spite of my boo-boos. I made those stars and flags many, many moons ago…so long ago that I cannot remember when.
You absolutely do need to make something for yourself…just for fun…no deadlines…no nothing. Just because you want to . 🙂

I really like the vintage look of your patriotic table topper. And come to think of it: how many vintage quilts are perfectly pieced? Not many! 🙂
