2 1/2 in Table Topper
Every once in a while I like to torcher myself, it seems. The most recent was using 2 1/2 inch squares (2 inch finished size) to make a small table topper. I made a Swoon Block, which is a total of 64 pieces, out of these tiny squares. I love the way it turned out, but it certainly was challenging to use such small pieces. I generally don't like to go any smaller than 3 1/5 inches (3 inch finished size). I was able to use the last of the scraps from my 'home' projects. I made a throw blanket or two and some throw pillows, a sewing machine cover and an ironing mat out of these same fabrics. I did some simple top stitching but no 'quilting' and I love the way it turned out. In fact, I wish I had used something other than muslin for the back because the stitching made such a cool pattern on the back! I think I might have to add a rod pocket on the back and hang it over my fireplace. I think it would be a warm addition, especially in the winter.
