Veronika... Its just gorgeous!
Today I finished quilting my table topper so its completely done! YAY. Got my new cell but still setting it up so I can get pictures. Also today I made Prairie Points and added them around the edge of my lap quilt. Have to figure what to use for a back. After seeing how cute the table runners are, I'm wondering about using my extra block for one. Since I'm out of focus fabric, what do you think about making two more blocks using different fabrics and combining the three for a runner? I think it might work as long as I find two more paisleys and stay with the black background. Any ideas, opinions, suggestions?

to take two further blocks for another table topper is a very good idea!! I was thinking about it too. But I'm not sure which other fabrics will fit with the used fabrics. Perhaps it*s better to take no further pattern and only to take one colour on the right and left side. I'm not sure and I will wait, what some other of you will do :-)

retry!
Well, thought I had everything cut and ready to sew on last photo, ready to sew today I caught misplacements
After getting home today fixed my mistakes. Mine was points only, no what I call envelopes on side and top and bottom. This time I think I have it right, same as last time fabric scraps all not right size. Cream background. Hope this is right this time. Will put border in same colors or all navy or stars.

I tell you have not quilted more than 2 to 3 pcs. in a block. This has taught so much. The colors really pop on some,
I like that, also I really do not use solids or mix solids to much, I like prints, but to many make it busy. Study each pattern, lay it out before sewing. I could go on but I am enjoying this thanks to all - photos - words - help - and Judy who made it for us. Ladies and Gents thank you! I can make more mistakes and redo a lots! I still love it!
