Little Ruby Table Topper

Hello, Friends!

I have a little table topper to share today.

I made it from a Mini Charm pack of Little Ruby

by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.

I didn't have a pattern for this table topper,

but I was definitely inspired by Sherri from A Quilting Life.

She wrote this post in her "Simply Small Quilts" series,

showing a sweet way to lay out the squares on point.

I had just received my mini charm pack,

and I just "needed" to make something with it.

I cut some a whole bunch of 2 1/2" white squares,

and in almost no time I had the quilt center finished.

I really LOVE the way that many designers

use a color palette that blends one fabric collection

with other lines that they've produced.

It makes it so easy to finish precut projects,

even when you don't have yardage from the same line.

I used a fat quarter from Hello Darling

to create a mitered border.

There were only a few squares left over

from the mini charm pack.

I used those to make a pieced backing.

I chose a piece of blue scallop fabric from

the original Ruby line, for the rest of the backing.

For the binding, I chose a bias stripe

from a fat quarter of Hello Darling.

I think this topper looks pretty on the front...

and on the back, too!

{I really love pieced backings...don't you?}

Sometimes you just feel the need to create.

Those mini charms will burn a hole in my sewing stash,

if I don't make something with them soon.

This project was so enjoyable that 

I would not mind stitching up a bunch of them

into table toppers like this.

What do you like to make with your mini charms???
