    Thank you. Yes, it is quite easy. There are two templates in the magazine that you cut out and tape together to give you the wedge size. Put that on top of 8 pieces of fabric and cut around it with a rotary cutter. Do this a second time, only remember to use only 7 of those wedges for a total of 15.

    Straight line sewing each wedge to another in pairs of two, then four, then attaching all those together. Once that's done, layer your batting, backing and top together and pin, sewing around 1/4" from the outer edge. When finished, cut off excess batting and backing, clip inner and outer curves then pull everything through the center hole.

    Then, cut your circle (from the template) for the center hole, face it with fusible interfacing (ala Eleanor Burns), then fuse and applique it down to the center. Do whatever quilting you wish, then you're done. I did it over the weekend. A nice, fairly quick and nice on your budget gift for someone. :thumbup:

    You did a tute and didn't know it....
    Gosh, good thing I didn't know it or I might've been all flustered. :lol:

    Wanted to mention that it is beautiful. That would be perfect for gifts. I could see it in Christmas colors, fall colors, spring, you get the idea. Would be wonderful. Got my brain a going.

    Thanks so much for your suggestions. I'll make a note of them for next time as I do intend to make more of these table toppers. :thumbup:
