I was going to make a tube table runner using about 3 or 4 squares. Well...I cut wrong & then after cutting again, I sew together the wrong strips. Decided I would make my own design of a table topper & use what I had, and use it to practice my FMQ. I don't think it turned out too badly.

Great "mistake"!!! It's gorgeous and your FMQ is very pretty. Nice job :)

Debbie B 04-22-2011 11:29 AM

Thanks for the compliments. But, it was a mistake. It was supposed to be a runner. Since I couldn't seem to cut right yesterday I ended up with 2 squares that I could use and decide to use 1/2 of one square to make triangles on the edges of the main square. I didn't like sewing that inside corner binding very much.

That is really pretty----now I am gong to have a real complex about trying FMQ after 25 years of not doing any! :>(

roselady 04-22-2011 12:44 PM

If that is a mistake, maybe you should do it more often!I don't know what it was suppose to look like but I really like how it turned out. If that is practice FMQ, you are ready for the "real" thing, it looks great.

Jaos 04-22-2011 01:00 PM

It's beautiful!

sherriequilts 04-22-2011 01:09 PM

Nice work! The binding must have been tricky on that one.
