It's A Mystery! A Mystery Scrappy Table Topper! |
2008 Vice Presiden's for Projects Donna C. & Nat. H. | |||||||||||||
|
Have fun with this one! This Table Topper focuses on using your scraps from left-overs, fat quarters, 2 ½ in strips, collections or maybe one of those darling Jelly Rolls that you 'just had to have' but haven't used yet! |

||||||||||||
BATTING: 30-33 inch square (An insulated batting makes a nice heat-protective pad). BACKING: 7/8 yard (or more if optional outer border is desired) BINDING: about 120 running inches of 2 ½ in wide strips (I use jelly rolls scraps) |
For a 28" X 28" Table Topper You'll Need: BACKGROUND FABRICS: About ¾ yard total of 5 to 10 or more fabrics, including various Off-whites, very pale tones, or small prints that read very light: MEDIUM FABRICS: About ¼ yard of 3-5 or more fabrics of the similar color, including various solids, tone on tones, or prints of medium tones. For example: different shades of medium pinks. The mediums should have contract from background and dark fabrics. DARK FABRICS: About ¼ yard of 3-5 or more fabrics of the similar color, including various solids, tone on tones, or prints reading darker tones. For example: different shades of dark pinks. The darks should have contract from background and medium fabrics. IN ADDITION: 6 sheets of 2" finished Thangles for constructing 1/2 square triangles, OR piece using your favorite method.

WANT IT BIGGER? Add 5/8 yd. for outer borders and add larger pieces of backing & batting. | ||||||||||||
