Sewing on a Snowy Day- Part 2

So, when I was digging in the closet, I discovered I still had a Crazy 8's Charm Pack from last year.  So, I made it into a table topper.  The original pattern from Anka's Treasures calls for this to be a 3 star table runner.  So I just made an additional star block and sewed them into a square.


I really do like it.  Wish I had enough red to bind in but I will have to use blue or green dots. Originally I was not going to use any pink or bright blue in it.  Then it seemed a bit dull. So I tossed a couple in.  

I also stumbled over the scraps for the tops for 2 of Vickie's hot pads.  Love that idea of using 1 hot pad for casserole dishes, which I use a lot of.  I think it will be really cute quilted with binding.

Now the quilting is lining up isn't it?  I have to quilt the hanky quilt, the topper from yesterday, this star topper, and 2 hot pads.  But, I think I will whip out 1 more project before I do that.

You should have seen Buddy dance last night when we received the call for the snow day.  It was a happy dance indeed!

love the table topper! I sitting here with several packs of Christmasy charm squares looking for an idea for a table runner and this would work out great -- thanks for the wonderful idea!
