Have you ever used a quilt as a tablecloth?
#51
I have made many, many small quilts that I have given to the girls in my family to be used as table toppers or wall hangings. I have made Christmas, Halloween, Valentines, fall, spring, summer quilts and always have one on my table as well as a lot of other places in my house. I think my girls all use theirs as well.

Just after retiring I satisfied my like of quilts with inexpensive big box store quilts in patterns I recognized. Some actually were less expensive than department store tablecloths. So that's how it started. Cost was not a deterrant. They were friendly and fit my non formal family meals and they washed well. Next they became picnic and beach blankets.

Yes. I have one on my dining room table right now (on point) and I love it. It has tea cups and saucers on it and was made for me by my quilting friends in Florida. I don't serve food on it though. The plastic cover is what i need.

My sister and I made a tabletopper for Christmas using the dresden plate pattern. It was her first attempt at making a quilt and even though I did most of the work it made her feel good and everyone loved it over the holidays.
