These two table toppers were made from a pattern that I picked up at a quilt show. They were fun to make - they are larger, 42 x 42. My pattern was called crazy eight strip teasers - I have seen different pattern names on this thread.

They were made for my mother and mother in laws birthday. I picked the material for my mother, and my dear husband picked out the material for his mom. I think he did a good job.

Those are beautiful, very rich looking.

I love the colors. Great job.

Quite lovely! Thank you for sharing!

Those look gorgeous!! I love the pattern and your color combination's!! I'm going to have to look for and do this pattern for sure!! They are going to LOVE their gifts!!

Very pretty!

I have seen a few of these on here, is there a tutorial posted somewhere, or a link to a pattern? I would love to try my hand at it!

I love this pattern too. Just for you information, I just ordered this pattern this morning from the internet for
$9.90 + $5.50 for shipping.

very pretty!

The color choices are fabulous. I love this pattern and your are wonderful.

I just LOVE that pattern! Can it be made using pre-cut 2.5" strips? Or are the strips some other size?

Can it be made from 8 - FQs?

Both are just gorgeous. I love them.

They are both wonderful!! Great quilting too! :thumbup: :-D

love the colors!

Beautiful!! I really like both of them! Great choice of colors!

Those really look nice. I have that pattern and seeing yours makes want to get on mine. Was it as hard as it looks?
I love your fabrics. :thumbup:

They are both so pretty. What wonderful colors in both. Great job and i bet the moms are going to love them. Thanks for sharing.

those are really stunning! And they won't be able to say that you are playing favorites either since they are equally beautiful. Does your mother and mother-in-law keep track? LOL

Favorite Fabrics/Nan - are you thinking of making kits for this pattern? How about kits for bow tucks too?

Oh, oh, oh... these are nice! I love the black and white version.

Oh they are pretty! I just love the fabric combinations. I really want to make these...when I finish with 10 other projects LOL

Thanks so much for posting this, I ordered one today as well.

Beautiful job on the table toppers, love the colors. Your husband did a great job picking out the fabrics too!

Actually, I was thinking that the table would be excellent for kits... figuring that a customer could invest in the pattern once, and then after that, just buy a kit of fabrics that would allow you to make one of these for every season or reason.

Had not though about bow tucks, though.

WOW!!! Your mother's are going to be very excited over these gifts :D:D:D

Both are very pretty and you and your husband's choice of color's are perfect... Nice job. Your Mother and MIL will just love them.

stunning,great colors,great job

You cannot use fat quarters - you need the width of the fabric. The strips were from 8 - 1/4 yard of different fabrics (you need the full 9 inches) 1 1/2" wide - my instructions told me not to pre wash the fabric and to leave the selvage on. It wasn't hard to make - the binding was a bit challenging - but I got it done. I know others on the thread haven't bound theirs - but I prefer a more finished look. Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!

Now that's an awesome thought, I love decorating for the holidays and when I ordered it I thought of doing one in Xmas fabrics....kits just the thing as it's the color combos that strike me. Being fairly new to quilting I have trouble putting together fabrics. I've been told it'll get easier ;)

Absolutely gorgeous!! :shock: :thumbup:

Those are so beautiful! I have been admiring that pattern for a while ... how difficult/easy it is to make?

Beautiful!!!!

They`re both beautiful... :thumbup:

I have never bought just one pattern before, I guess b/c there are always so many free ones, but I really like this one! Is it really that easy to do?? I have an idea how it would be done, but I know a pattern would make it that much easier... they would definitely make cute gifts!

Yes it is easy to do. If you can sew accurate 1/4" seams, then get brave enough with your ruler to cut the strips your set to go. My pattern showed a picture of each step. You can do it!

Love the colors--great job!!

Uh... well... it does get easier to put fabrics together, but... if you have too many to choose from (too much stash?) you can get to the "analysis paralysis" stage. Which isn't much better!

I really like those!

This is very intreaging! Awesome job!

Those are lovely. Nice choice of fabrics. I think I need to put this pattern on my 'want' list.

Very Impressive!!!

Beautiful!!! I so want to do this pattern. I will have to look for it!

Kyia

They are great I love your choice of fabric. Awesome colors
