The tables we used for Hope's party are 60 inch round. The church provided white tablecloths and I new I wanted to add a pop of pretty color but I didn't have enough time to take on a big sewing project. I remembered that I had a vintage Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt that was in really bad shape. I had purchased it with the intent of making it into something new. I found a large round container and I traced 17 circles on it with a thick sharpie marker. Then I cut out the circles (the first cut made my heart hurt a bit) and then I sewed pom-pom trim in pink and white to all the circles. Each table had a quilt circle on it with a pitcher of flowers. I am using some now for placemats in the kitchen. So fun and so easy!
With joy,

So cute, what a perfect solution and I love the pom poms!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about that first cut - ouch! I have some of my mother's "Grandmother's Flower Garden" pieced 'blocks', so this really caught my eye :)
Oh, these are absolutely lovely!! I just love these!! Have a blessed weekend! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea. I have a few raggedy quilts I can do this with!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I know what you mean, I think my heart might break cutting into a vintage quilt also, but if it is in bad shape you made the right decision so it can still be enjoyed.
