Table Cloth Quilts
#1
Hi! I finally ran out of room and beds for quilts so I started making table cloth quilts. This is really fun, and I didn't have a problem until now. Most of my family have round tables. The table cloth needs to be 52" diameter. I made octagons. The tops look great on the table, but I am not sure how to quilt them. Any ideas? :?:

I would like to know more about this, because I would like to make one myself. I have a octagon table, and I haven't figured out how to do it either. I am not experienced enough to be able to do something without instructions yet. I was going to post a question in regards to doing this, so I am glad to see someone else is thinking of doing the same thing.

I'm new to quilting but I have made a couple table cloths and on "sewing with Nancy" she said to use flannel. So I did. Flannel is also cheap. You also don't back table cloths. So they were a good inexpensive way for me to get some quilting experience.
I always take mine off the table before eating so don't know about the heat.

I just made my first tablecloth. Put a lot of thought into it and then just went for it. I had a nice fall fabric panel that would fit my custom made kitchenette. I put flying geese border, then regular border. Backed it with muslin, quilted (no batting). Turned out great.

I have some blocks that I want to turn into a tablecloth for my dining room table. I am just afraid of people spilling on it and getting stained. After all the work making all those blocks, I don't want it ruined real fast. I could make it and just use it on the table for decoration and then use placemats or replace it with another for actual use. Are you concerned about stains?
