Fast and Easy Mini Table Topper Tutorial
Fast and Easy Mini Table Topper TutorialI thought I would share a table topper with you that I just finished. Either that is a giant candle........or a teeny tiny table topper!!!
The actual size is 10" x 18".
Are you wondering where I got the idea for this? Well, I finished another project using these cute fabrics and I had 2 pinwheel blocks left. I really didn't want to throw them into my huge box of leftover blocks (it is pretty darn full) so I decided to just cut a square of fabric 1 inch bigger than the block size and then cut it in half on the diagonal. Stitch it together as shown and.....a small table topper!

I did some stipple quilting with Glide thread.
My binding was cut 2 ½" wide and applied by machine using my 15-91 vintage Singer.
This would make a great little gift with a candle or flower basket.....I think I'll see what other blocks I have sitting around!

The other night we were standing outside and I took this photo when the sun was shining on Iggy. He looks so neat! My brother even pulled out a ladder so I could climb it and be more on Iggy's level. Most of the leaves on the trees are now gone after two nights of wind.
Enjoy your weekend!

The leaves have nearly gone here too in Staffordshire, England, they have been beautiful this Autumn, maybe due to our lack of Summer!!
Love your table topper and Iggy
Best Wishes

Good for you! Make use of those leftover blocks. And thanks for the tip for setting triangles. I am always a bit intimidated when there isn't a pattern in front of me. Love Iggy basking in the late autumn sun.

Hi Connie. I like your little table topper and you have given me inspiration to make some Christmas presents and this is perfect. Certainly perfect in that I am embarking on FMQ so this is a nice small project. I am just wondering what size the pinwheels are. I would love the measurements, thank you very much.

The light on Iggy was really pretty. I always feel kind of sad when the last of the fall leaves drop. I have a red maple outside my kitchen bay window that has been glorious this fall and it is nearly bare today. Now we are down to one last golden tree in the front yard that still has leaves.
Your little table topper is pretty cute. It would look great on top of a bedroom dresser.
