I am currently working on a large quilt, am a little bored with it and needed a break. So I started playing with some soft blue and white fabrics and created this little table topper. My everyday dishes and serving pieces are Polish Pottery and I thought the colors would compliment my dishes. Although pretty in itself, I thought the star needed something more, so I used my small Orange Peel Template, backed two 5" squares with Peel and iron-on backing, cut out 8 "peels" and appliquéd them in the center by using a narrow zig zag stitch.

I loved Jenny's tutorial for the quatrefoil and wanted to use it for an autumn table topper. I purchased Jinny Beyer's beautiful "Bedfordshire Autumn" layer cake and wanted to show off all the beautiful prints and colors, so I added Natalie's friendship braid to either side of the quatrefoil block. I used a lovely leaf print in coordinating rich fall colors for the backing and binding. I really love the colors and how it came together. I think am going to try this in Christmas colors next!
