A new project!

Since we brought home a round table from Todd's grandma's house, I didn't have any tablecloths that fit well.  We brought a couple home with the table, but they are small.  So last weekend I decided I wanted to make a quilted round tablecloth.  I searched online and found this.   What made me think I could do it, I'm not sure.  The video just made it seem so easy, but later when I really sat down to look at the finished product, I started second-guessing my abilities (lol).  All the corners and everything started to scare me.  But I went to JoAnn's on Sunday.  It's so hard to pick out the fabrics!  I was worried about one of the reds.  Anyway, I started working on it.   I took it to work on Monday and pinned the pieces together, and that worked really well.  (I have a hard time taking the time to pin things when I'm sitting in front of the sewing machine,)   I had to make the boarders pretty large because the table top is 48 inches across, but I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.



This is just the top, I need to make the sandwich, then I'm going to quilt it with transparent thread.  I'm hoping the quilting will smooth things out.

I'll post pictures when it's done.
