Tackle a Topper

September22

Tacklers all over the bloggosphere are tackling on Tuesday. To see what others are tackling, be sure to visit 5minutesformom.com. You might even want to tackle something and tell us all about it!

My tackle for this Tuesday is to get prepared to teach how to make table toppers to the ladies who belong to my quilt guild. They expressed interest in making table toppers! They are easy to make so it will be fun. I want to get my ideas together so I don’t ramble when I explain how to make the project an easy one. I hope you readers don’t mind if I practice on you!

The first step is to pick your fabric. The number of fabrics you need will depend on the style you wish to achieve with your topper. The simplest way is to begin with 5″ squares folded into triangles and play with them. Lay them out to see if you want as little as three different fabrics or if you want to go wild and have every block a different style and pattern of fabric. It is up to you!

I like to start with the pinwheel in the center. Decide what you like and build from there. You can follow the picture shown in my previous post where I used four different fabrics. Or use three fabrics as shown in the table topper I made a few months ago. Again, you can use as many different fabrics as you like.

   Nice. While I was still living in Hawaii I was learning how to quilt from one of the ladies at church. It was a lot of fun. I wish I had people to quilt with here in Washington.

   Thanks for stopping by today. I guess you recognized the quilters pins I’ll be prepared (just like a boy scout) when my younger son becomes a cub scout.
