    Wow! I didn't think I was ever going to complete this topper. I took a class thru one of the guilds I belong to on the 30* ruler and making fans. We were to cut our material in strips and then sew 4 strips together and then cut with the 30* ruler and put the pieces back together. Most did it in Fan shapes. I did not care how the material I picked looked in the fan shapes( it was pretty blah and just wasn't working for me) so almost gave up the whole idea. Then I got to thinking about how they would look in individual table toppers as stars, once I started putting the stars together, I moved them so they were all attatched together. Now I really like how it turned out. I finally got it loaded and quilted and just love it!
    (Just goes to show sometimes going off the beaten path and playing is better.)

    I'm so glad you continued on it. I have the 60* ruler and have done a few things with it, but nothing like this. Your table topper came out excellent. Love the star shapes in it in different colors and love the not square/round shape! :thumbup:
