new table cloth for our 42" round table
 
3 Attachment(s)
being only the 2 of us and limited space we have a small 42" round dining table. yesterday I made a new tablecloth for the table-
Charley Brown is a favorite character of my husband's so I used some of that I had left over from a previous project. it is cheery & summery looking and was fun to make. I think I will make a few more with this pattern for all the seasons & holidays. I plan to make tree skirts too- but, love how this fit the table.

That is so pretty, and cheerful. I like how you made it to fit your table for you and your husband and also using a fabric that your husband loves. :)

Nicely done. My favorite was Snoopy flying, especially fighting the Red Baron.

30° wedge ruler, cut strips - width of fabric 12 1/2" wide, 6 strips, can be 6 different fabrics or I used 2 strips each of 3 fabrics. Cut the 30° wedges with the 12 1/2" line on edge of fabric, with the fabric folded in half ( salvage to salvage) you can make 4 cuts, 8 triangle wedges. There are many different patterns on the insert that comes with the ruler.
My ruler is 19" long so I could make a 76" circle. I'm going to make some tree skirts next.

that would make me happy every time I sat down at the table, well done!

Poakie 08-24-2015 03:26 PM

This was my thought when I saw the picture. It would make me smile every day!

jenOSU 08-25-2015 03:15 PM

You did a Fantastic job on those points!

matraina 08-25-2015 05:42 PM

It is very pretty.

citruscountyquilter 08-26-2015 03:38 AM

I too use quilts for table cloths and people have a fit thinking I'm ruining the quilt. Obviously I don't serve spaghetti with it on and we don't have small children but when it gets soiled I just throw it in the washer and it's good to go again. I really like the weight of a quilted table cloth. It stays in place yet it isn't so thick that you can't set glasses on it without them tipping over. I like how you did yours with a wedge. Very nice.

kaylfordsollimo 08-26-2015 05:33 AM

Great idea.

annette1952 08-26-2015 09:15 AM

So cute! Love the fabrics!

Mamia 08-26-2015 10:23 AM
