Patio table quilt for daughter
 

I have finished quilting a table cloth for our daughter and hubby to use on their patio table. I still have to add something on the back to make sure the umbrella area slit stays closed while the cloth is on the table. It was fun doing the appliques! A different kind of project anyways for me! I wish I had thought of doing this earlier because summer is coming to a close!

that is so cute... nice

what a nice idea.
I love it.

where did you get the ant fabric? love it

Super cool idea!:thumbup:

It is very cute!

I LOVE THIS! So creative!

Thanks! I ordered it through Amazon which gets it from Fabric.com. It's a Timeless Treasures fabric, very soft and lovely. Because they won't ship to Canada, I have to thank my wonderful American friend Rose for shipping it to me!

Makes you want to celebrate. Bring on the food!

what a great idea for an outside table! Great job!!

very cute. What a fun idea!. If it's going to be used on a metal table top, you could slit a few stitches an slide in a magnetic strip. Otherwise, maybe something else heavy to hold it down. Enjoy the last fleeting days of summer.

Great idea, your appliques are really cute.

I love that, you are creative for sure. Maybe velcro of a ribbon to tie would be nice.

How cute is that!! What are you going to put on the back to keep the slit closed??? I never thought of doing anything like this! GREAT IDEA!

I saw some at Hobby Lobby and had no idea what you would use it for. Thanks for sharing.

Tebill, will you share the pattern with us???? Love the appliques. Want to make one too

I used the applique designs (embroidery machine) from the pattern: http://www.lunchboxquilts.com/shop/product/picnic-time/
Rather than make the checkerboard pattern, I used checkerboard fabric which saved some time. I just used the applique designs instead of following the pattern as the patio table was a totally different size and I needed to make a slit and a hole in the center for an umbrella. The applique designs are wonderful to use - the chicken leg uses Texture Magic to give it some dimension! What fun!

Last night I stitched some velcro squares onto the back (the soft, loopy part) in three places along the slit. I then put on strips of the velcro hook side which holds it together perfectly. Our daughter can remove the hook strips for laundering the quilt and the loopy pieces won't damage the embroidery.

That is so cute. Makes you want to have a picnic.
