This is from Lacey Hill's book, Sizzling Circles!!! It is a flip and sew so there are no bindings. Quilt as you go leaves you with the four circles then they are joined making the beautiful flower in the middle. Then I machine appliqued the leaves. I just love it.The only problem I seemed to have was deciding on the fabric for the leaves. I have an additional 12 leaves cut out for another project. I just did not have the right green in my stash. On Saturday I went over to the Quilt Foundry in Maumee, OH. Margaret Okuley, one of the owners and EQ "Quilter Extraordinaire" was working on Saturday and she had no problem picking out just the right green for this pattern. How lucky was I to have walked in and got what I needed right away without any effort on my part? (unless you call walking in effort lol). I was thrilled. I wished I had gone there first...I would have saved some really nice batiks. Live and learn.
I did the blanket stitch by machine for the first time and I think it came out pretty good. Normally I stitch by hand but I wanted to finish this right away....not next year :)

Congratulations Kelly on finishing your table cover. Nice job on the machine blanket stitch.
ReplyDeleteIt is really lovely! I'm glad you have finished it to enjoy this fall, instead of having to wait another year for the gratification! And no binding! Sounds like my kind of project!
ReplyDeleteYou can be happy that you spent the day finishing this project. It looks great on your foyer table, just the right touch. Enjoy every time you go upstairs and say to yourself I MADE IT!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful. This is going to be an inviting table cover. You may never get your company to go any place else, but stand next to this table and admire this beautiful table cover! Great design, great fabric, great color, great quilting. Love, love, love it.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! How super it looks and professional, like all your other projects. The leaves look like Ginko, a tree outside the front entrance of where I work.
ReplyDeleteYour table cover turned out spectacular. I love the design and colours and you won't find one like this in any old shop. Great work.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! The colors are beautiful and it fits just perfectly both in style and size.
