Tabletoppers

     I had a request from my niece for a tabletopper for her kitchen table about 2-3 weeks ago but never got around to it and then the other day something reminded me that I hadn't made it so I cut a topper out but it was HUGE....so I ditched that and decided to look in my "orphan" block drawer and voile....I found 5 star blocks that were left over from the quilt I made my daughter for her wedding last April.  I wasn't sure Shannon would like the topper but once I quilted it and added some fun tiny dots for the binding I knew she'd love it......
     I put a picture on Instagram and figured I'd text her and tell her it was done but she saved me on that, the minute I posted the picture, she was on the phone asking if she could come right over for it.
She loved it!

     After that I decided to ask my own daughter if she wanted a runner for her coffee bar in her kitchen.  Which she did so I pulled out some coffee themed fabrics and voile....


I fussy cut the coffee cups for the center of the churn dash blocks and used a neutral that has little tiny coffee beans on it for the background and binding.  I love the backing fabric too...all different coffee cups and coffee makers.....

Gotta love quick and easy projects for the afternoon.

The table topper for your niece sure was a big hit with her and I really liked it as well. The runner for your daughter's coffee bar is absolutely adorable! The Churn Dash is one of my favorite blocks and I'm working on a red & white churn dash quilt myself!
