A Table Quilt

The leftover blocks from my grandson’s quilt became my first table quilt.

I was lazy with the math figuring but that turned out to be a happy okay.

I laid out the blocks to allow for sashing to help get it to the size I need.

I then cut sashing pieces to sew between the blocks.

I then measured and cut incorrectly for the outside border.  But that was good because I like the additional red border.  Time to get it quilted.

The red outside border mean’t that I could use up some more scraps by making a scrappy binding from the black and white fabrics.

(Chain piecing the binding)

This is NOT a table quilt that I would have chosen to make and it’s rather an odd duck color choice as well.  But as an everyday table protection, it works.  I only cover the table when we use it for a meal anyway.

To make this table quilt reversible, I used a green print with gold metallic splatters that can be used at Christmas time or St. Patrick’s Day.

                   

Now I’m looking forward to making more table quilts.

April went along like so...
