    What size do you make your table toppers? I like them better than table runners.

    A lady in my quilting class is making a double Irish chain quilt to use as a table cloth in her dining room. She is making it just like a quilt complete with thin batting. I can't wait to see it finished. That may be my next project.

    Yip --- have one on it now. Got it at a "store closing sale" and only paid $20.00. It fits my decor, was a great buy and I love it. :)

    Yup! Yup! Yup! I have made them, used them, washed them. I make sure I wash the fabrics before cutting and sewing, and make sure I quilt a lot. They have held up very well for at least the four years I've done them. I also make them different on each side so they are reversible. I LOVE to see people USE my quilts! Phyllis

    I had to make one once. I did it in navy blue prints and cream prints to match. I then had to do scallop edges. It was in the log cabin pattern. It really turned out good.
