Well, I hope you have enjoyed all the toppers that have been shown so far...I know I have. There are several I've put on my list to make...lol!
This is my first topper. My first Ackfeldwire stand (love it!). I've always wanted to make a hst quilt & for now this will have to do...lol! I had left over triangles from my Charming Stars quilt & I just couldn't throw them away. Instead I went ahead & sewed them together...and BAM!...mini table topper! And now looking at this picture, I should have added another column and 2 rows. I was just so darn excited making it, I didn't make the right size for my stand. Well, I have several squares left so I just might do a 'do over'. If I do, y'all will be the first to know.
Listed below are the other ladies showing off their toppers today so be sure to check them out:

And to keep with the 'mini' theme, GIVEAWAY...a mini charm pack (these are too cute!)...just leave me a comment. I'll draw on the 26th.

I love those mini charms, so cute. I like your tabletopper just as it is, it's perfect. I think table toppers are the way to go. If I made full sized quilts in all the designs I'd like, I'd never make them all. At this size I might have a fighting chance. ;-> Toni Anne

ReplyDeleteI love your table topper. It is so bright & festive. I have seen a quilt similar to this & I've always wanted to make it. I know I could finish a table topper. So I may just have to make one of these for myself. Thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteGreat little table topper. Great way to use HSTs and the striped binding really takes it over the top.
ReplyDeleteGolly, I like your little table topper. Love its patrioticness (is that a word?). Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour topper is adorable. Thanks for a chance in your giveaway - it would be fun to play with a mini charm pack.
ReplyDeletea mini mini? Ingenious! Someone else commented on its patriotic-ness but I felt a nautical theme, like little sails on the horizon. Both ideas work!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in your HST table topper. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a table topper stand, but I do have a mini wall hanging "thingy." The half squared minis would look great on that. I have some red and white waste triangles. Your project has given me some inspiration and direction. Thanks!
ReplyDeletevery cute little mini - love those half square triangles - I might have something similar :)
ReplyDeleteI love your HST piece and it is so cute with the light shining through it and waving in the breeze. And those mini squares are just too cute
ReplyDeleteYour table topper is darling! What a good idea to make a mini quilt instead of a regular-sized quilt of something you want to have! I have so many things on my bucket list, I may just have to make mini quilts for all of them instead of full-sized quilts or I'll never get them all done! :) Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great HST mini. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your mini; so adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
