Low Hanging Fruit

Christmas star table topper: QuiltBee
I hit a bit of Holly Bazaar luck recently, finding a huge pile of Christmas prints that I had cut last year for star table toppers but never made up. All I had to do was cut a few more white blocks and I was off to the races.













I like to lay out a full topper so that I can play with the colour and print distribution and then just drop sets of the smaller white squares onto the blocks that will contain the star points.

After that it's a fairly quick process and in about an hour....

voila!

This one doesn't have any yellows in it and I wondered if that was a mistake, but I like it.

Happily, I now have four of them that are ready for quilting. Betty teased me about my last post saying that in one simple step I'd moved from Halloween to Christmas, but as each day passes the bazaar is that much closer so there will need to be a little more holiday themed sewing before all is said and done 😊....M
