I just made the table topper from McCalls magazine. it's not quilted yet but i had some striped fabric and just had to make it.

WoW. You did a fantastic job. It is very pretty. Love the fabric.

WOW that turned out great :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Perfect stripe matching too :wink: :wink: :wink:

i bought the ugly striped fabric along with the lovely lighter burgundy with paisley print some time ago. i'd already cut out larger diamonds but never did much with them. so i cut them down for this quilt.
for some reason the 3 sets of burgundy diamonds match stripes (i had to turn the center one though) but when placed with another set, the colors didn't match up, just stripes. oh well, i'm happy.

I like yours better than the McCalls!

Beautiful! Which issue is that in?

Beautiful!

Very eye-catching! Love the stripes! Very nice work!

WOOOOOOW!!!!!

Very pretty!

I saw that pattern and am thinking of making it. I like your version,nice job.

it wasn't hard, just lots of Y seams!

Thanks, I'll look for it!

love it i doing something like that http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-39737-1.htm but with different shape

Wow, that turned out beautiful. Great job and thanks for sharing.

How pretty!!!

This is so nice love your colors and fabrics.

Really pretty love it :-D :thumbup:

it really goes together? I'm glad some others think so. it looks like it will turn out nice enough to be a Christmas gift after all.

wow! you're a fast worker! i just got that magazine and wasn't even finished looking at. :lol: :lol: :roll:

Gorgeous!

I went and bought the magazine this a.m. and I started one already. Mine won't be as large as the one in the magazine as my table is not that big. I've got the middle done and starting to work on the Y seam and it's the first time doing it. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

you did a wonderful job, it is very pretty.

Beautiful!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee mine is commin' together really nice and I'm so far happy with it. Thanks for sharing the idea and what magazine it is in. Huggies, Fay

It is beautiful. I wish I could sew with stripes and not feel sick. I love them.

Wow! Very nice!

I have been looking and looking at that page in my McCall's, but I like yours even more!! It's beautiful. I thought about making it with Christmas fabric. Was it very difficult? That month's magazine has a lot of pretty projects that I want to make.

:D :D :D I didnt find it hard to do at all. Here's mine, but i don't have any striped fabrics and I tihnk this is still too large for my table, but hey! It can be used as a medallion for a center of the big quilt. Have a look.

No it's not terribly difficult. just Y seams to contend with.
and it doesn't have to have stripes either. just change the silly name. my diamonds don't really spin either. the mag had black and cream print for the center diamonds that made it look like it was spinning.
I'm working on backing now. an ugly octagon made with wedges of the striped fabric with strips around it to make it larger.

Just gorgeous! I saw that one in the magazine as well. You did a great job!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

Carolyn, That turned out Beautiful!!! Boy you didn't let any grass grow under your feet on that one. See you soon...

WOW!! You are the queen of matching up stripes!!
That is beautiful!! :D:D:D

You do beautiful work, it's very pretty!

I definitely like your fabric choices better than the pattern :thumbup:

You did a wonderful job ... love the colors, too!
