Do you have a small quilt top that hasn't been quilted yet?
Get it out and make yourself a quick summer tablecloth!
One of the things I enjoy about summer is eating breakfast and dinner outside.
So being the quilty gal I am, I thought, what better way to make it more enjoyable than with a summer tablecloth. Especially one made from a pinwheel pattern and...

...sunflower fabric!
I used NO batting and just put the pieced front and this checkered backing right sides together, sewed the perimeter and reversed pillowcase style. I then quilted it with a simple leaf pattern on the sashing and a fun sunflower on each pinwheel. I love it!
Hope your day is off to a wonderful start and that you are perhaps inspired
to finish a quilt top into a summer tablecloth too.
I love to eat outside too, very cute table decor! Adorable coffee mug.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an outdoor eater - too many bugs and too many trips back and forth to set up and clean up. Plus my furkids think I have prepared it all for them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks terrific Val, I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Love the way this looks.. and love the Jackson mug too!
ReplyDeleteLooks very fun, Val! Wish we could eat outside, but the mosquitoes would carry us away. Lynne Tyler made tablecloths for her dining room, check them out here: http://patcherymenagerie.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-stack-plan.html Enjoy your patio!
ReplyDeleteVal, this is fabulous!! What a great idea! Hmmm. . . I don't have any unfinished tops laying around but I might have to put one on my list to make!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Even though I do not have any tops that haven't been yet doesn't mean I can whip one up :) Thanks for sharing the idea.
ReplyDeleteYou bet!
DeleteGreat idea for some summer outdoor time. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea; it looks good on your verandah. Enjoy your breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThat so fun and cheery looking Val! Very nice quilting too and a great idea to do it without batting.
ReplyDeleteYou got that together just in time to kick up your heels and do some serious patio dining/barbecueing/fourth-of-July-ing. Fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! This is really fun for summer!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea to do that without batting. Our summer bedspread is battingless, but I never thought to do that for a table cloth. Have fun dining out!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute way to finish the quilt turned table cloth. Thanks for sharing, Val!
ReplyDeletewhat a good idea if only we would get some summer, no must not complain we are expecting sun today before rain tomorrow
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! And I also love your quiting design.
ReplyDeleteVal, you inspired me to go digging in my UFOs for a new table cloth. Thanks. Debbie
ReplyDeleteYour summer table cloth is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in on me, Val! I am hoping to complete School Health Report for state next week so that I can fully engage in summer! I love this summer table cloth! Great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Val!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
I have a duvet cover that needs re using!
After the great garden project gets finished and the stairs inside get redone, I think it's time to bring out the sewing machine!
Looks like your Summer is off to a great start!
Take care,
Joanne
So sweet! I love that you can quilt through the two layers of cotton (no batting) and it lays nice and flat. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea - I have something on hand to finish this way. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!
ReplyDelete`Do I have a quilt top that hasn´t been quilted yet´? Well yes, still sitting in a drawer after three years, but too big to be made into a table cloth. Lovely work Val.
