Batik Table Topper Tutorial in Teal

Do you ever do a warm up quilt project before you start quilting a special quilt? The other day I talked about doing some warm up freemotion quilting before I started working on a project for a magazine and that is what the Batik table topper in teal is.

SIZE 28″ X 28″

My warm up project was a UFO from a Batik Table Topper Tutorial I did earlier this year. The fabrics I used are batiks from the Crystal Cove collection by Island Batik, I made a different wall hanging and tutorial with this collection last spring.

I really, really liked all of the batiks in this collection, do you ever have fabrics that you just hate to use the last of?

There is nothing fancy about the way I quilted the wavy lines, I used Aurifil thread in a cream and the batting was Hobbs 80/20. I really like that batting anymore. For the backing I used a cotton fabric that I had in my stash, it isn’t a batik.

Most of the time I don’t want to use my batiks on the back of the quilt and this works fine for me.

I always enjoy sharing a closeup of the quilting. This is a fun quilt pattern to make following the easy directions and tutorial I did for the same table topper in red other. The only difference is that this one is much larger and I didn’t sew around the outside of the quilt blocks.

Batiks used: 2 dark teals, one light teal and one cream

  • Cut 3 inch strips the width of the fabric.
  • Cut 3  – 3 inch strips of all four fabrics.
  • Sew them together with a ¼″ seam allowance.
  • Make 3 strip sets.
  • Press and measure your strip sets. 
  • Each one should measure 10½inches long.
  • Sub-cut pieces 10½ inches by 10½ inches for 4 blocks.

Creating the blocks:

  • Take 2 of the squares and place them right sides together going in opposite directions.
  • On one the stripes are horizontal, on the other they are vertical.
  • Stitch around all 4 sides.
  • Cut the block diagonally twice.
  • Carefully arrange the sections so you don’t stretch the bias edges.
  • Layout a design you like and sew the pieces together.

I forgot to take a photo so I made some more blocks but didn’t sew around the outside.

I don’t remember exactly what size the blocks were.

    Love this! You mentioned you hate using the last of a fabric. Me too. I have a bag of these treasure that are mire postage stamp size. Last month I actually broke down and ordered some favorite on e-bay which nearly did me in. Paid more for the replacement than the original! But oh it made me feel so much better.
    Thanks for sharing this again. I missed it the first time.

    Another beautiful topper! Such pretty – and zen-like – colors. This makes me think “spa”. The red one is my favorite of the 2 however, just because I love red.
