Our task for Project Quilting 14.5 this week was to create something that was not square and make it without using a square. This was a really easy task for me as I just received some new shamrock fabrics and a coordinating greens. I ordered from JoAnns and from Marshall Dry goods and they both came the same day. So I set right out to make this round wedge shamrock topper. Now this style is nothing new to me as I have done them in lots of color ways. There is definitely no squares involved!!
I do have a tutorial here on the blog, or you can find it under the tutorial heading above. They really are not that hard to make, they just look like it;)
When ordering fabrics online you never know if the colors are going to be exactly what you want. Especially if you are ordering from more than one place and you want all the fabrics to coordinate. I anxiously opened the packages and OMG they all went together perfectly!! I am sure I was squealing a bit because the hubby was giving me a look, LOL. The backing fabric is the one from Marshall Dry Goods, I bought a whole bolt of it because that is the most cost effective way to go. I am sure I can use it for lots more table runners.
Thanks to Tish for hosting the Project Quilting to which I am linking. Looking forward to the next challenge to see if I can come up with something for it also. More linky parties I am joining in with-Midweek Makers and Wednesday Wait Loss

Perfect not a square + St. Patrick's Day project!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I am using your tutorial to make my PQ 14.5 project. It will be my third. Very fun and easy to make.
ReplyDeletevery nice - and not a square in it!!
ReplyDeleteI’ve made wedge Christmas tree skirts but not a table topper. That must be a fairly good way to use up smaller width of fabric pieces? Your green topper is great.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty. Those green fabrics are rich and bright.
ReplyDeletePretty table topper, in time for St Patrick's day.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I really love how subtle the differences in that outer ring. Terrific group of shamrock fabrics.
ReplyDeletePerfect non-square! Love your wedge table toppers! This one is especially cute. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you nailed the prompt! I love your round table toppers...you know, I have a snowman :) Fingers crossed I will be able to use it on the table it was intended for this Christmas...geez!
ReplyDeleteSo not square!!! Love it, Vicki!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely perfect for this week's challenge! I love all those greens - I'm craving anything green. Maybe I will just have pull out my green fabrics, too!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a challenge right up your alley and with your wonderful St Patrick's day fabrics. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! What a pretty table topper. Those greens match just perfectly and it really is a crap shoot. We just ordered some wide backing fabrics that look so different from the picture online. We definitely would not have picked them! Great job and I'm sure you're feeling rather Irish right about now. The quilting looks so perfect! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteVicki, you are a master at creating table quilts in varied shapes. Such a fabulous and festive table quilt. I love the shamrock fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love that backing fabric! What a great example of your imagination this is.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Love the quilting as well.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it, Vicki!! A challenge entry and another table topper to add to your shop at the same time. Win-win!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely amazing! Great work!
