I had a conversation "at" my Etsy store recently. The customer asked if I had a quilted table topper in different colors. We discussed fabrics and colors, and I made this. It's fun knowing I can make something that someone would love to have in their house. I also love using my Accuquilt GO! cutter, and choosing fabrics from my collection.
As I picked the fabrics and considered the placement, I decided to go with a planned design, rather than random, like the one the customer had seen. I placed 3 rows of tumbler pieces on my design wall, and stepped back. I moved two of the colors to get a better placement, and really liked it.
Before I knew it, after chain piecing the shapes together, I had 3 rows done! It was really fast. After I got the rows together, I layered it with a pretty cream floral backing fabric, and Warm & Natural batting, and decided to quilt it with a medium brown thread in a Leaves and Loop design, similar to the one the custmer had seen. It's bound and ready for its new home!
I wish I could have gotten a better picture, but it's a little dreary today. The colors are really pretty, very chocolaty!! That spark of blue in the floral really adds some punch!
