It's always nice to have good variety on the Holly Bazaar's craft table so during October and November I was busy trying to ensure that happened.
This little topper pattern I found on Pinterest, but I could find neither the maker nor the pattern name, so I made up my own pattern from the image. Interestingly, similar to the nine patch that I showed a few posts ago, it also had a fair bit of black in it, which is unusual for me to use in Christmas pieces.
It was helpful to lay everything out and then systematically work through the pieces and sections,
starting with the corner units.
After all of the quilting that I put into
the last runner the quilting on this one was a breeze!
The inspiration photo that I was working from showed a black binding, which made sense given the black cornerstones, but that just seemed a little too lugubrious for the holidays,
so I used the red that was in the topper. Much more Christmassy.
And it's backed with a red gingham, which continued to cheer it up.
Ta-da!
It must have sold fairly quickly because I don't remember seeing it hang around on the craft table for very long. I love knowing that my pieces are being enjoyed by others....M
