Americana Topper
In my ongoing quest to use up scraps and orphan blocks, I have completed another Table Topper. This on is with 4 orphan blocks from my latest Quilt of Valor quilt. I was able to do some machine applique on two blocks and the other two blocks are just regular star blocks. I put muslin on the back and did just some simple utility stitching. I tried several times to get these 4 blocks squared up. According to my measurements they are all the same size, but the machine quilting makes it very clear that they are not. I just had to go with it. I am not entering any contest here. Sometimes, no matter how hard I try, I just can't get it right. I have accepted that as a Truth in my Life. If you don't look to close, I think the Topper turned out GREAT!
