Holly Toppers - my new pattern Done!

Excited to have completed this pattern. Holly Toppers is a scrap friendly table topper that can be made in three sizes.  Six strip sets will make the large table topper (27" x 63") or both the small table topper (27" x 45") and square topper (27").  

Raid your stash to complete these toppers in traditional Christmas colors or change it up for other seasons or decors.  

Thrilled, I have completed my goal to have my second pattern done by year end!  That is a first, a goal for a year completed prior to December 31st.  

Wonderful Invisifil Thread - Great quilting experience

Last night I was furiously quilting my class sample of my new pattern "Holly Toppers".  It is a 27 1/2" square table topper.  I wanted to cross hatch the topper with a relatively neutral thread so that I got the definition from the quilting without overpowering the topper.

Wow what a great result!  I used the resources on the Wonderfil site to select a 80 microtex needle.  

Now just the binding and hand quilting for the centre and I'm done!
