I have a top...

Knowing I had completed my blocks for the top I just couldn't resist to go further, so the hunt for the fabric I had was put into motion.
Happy dance..ok it is  from a sitting position.
Anyways I just plodded along today and yipeeee.. I wanted to add sashing & border of the same fabric so it all floated (if you know what I mean) and am wrapt in the end result.
Was hard to get a good picture with the cat insisting it was her rolling mat...
Now before you look at the pic and say oopsy upside down rows...
I have made my stitcheries into a top for the table at christmas, and with 2 rows running in opposite directions, you get a nioce few no matter which direction you lok at it.

Split in half for a closer look.
Not sure how I will quilt this yet, I think it will sit to the side until I come up with a plan.
Cheers Vickie

I don['t think the greens show up very well in the photo-maybe a pic taken outside when done will be better,cheers

Well done, I like the sashing and border in one colour... I may do that too... brings it all together nicely...

What a neat idea - a table cloth. Love the greens. So bright and cheery. Should look great on your table at Christmas.

Doing a table covering is such a great idea.....I've not decided what to do with mine yet when its finished....I might gift it away.
