How to Create a Fast and Easy Table Topper

Hi everyone! It's Bea from Beaquilter. I'm excited to share a project that comes together so fast you could complete it in a weekend! That's right. You can use it as a table topper or...as an adorable mini quilt! Are you as excited about this tutorial as I am? 

 

An Easy Table Topper Tutorial

I'm here to show you how I made this cute, quick, and easy table topper or mini quilt with the GO! Qube Mix & Match 6" Block and matching companion sets GO! Qube 6" Companion Set-Angles and GO! Qube 6" Companion Set-Corners.

It can really be made with Any Qube set. The finished size is just different :) So, grab your Qube, and let's get started!

 

Materials Needed

  • White 1/2yd
  • 1/8yd of EACH of the 2 colors in Light, Medium and Dark (so six fabrics total - plus the white)
  • GO! Qube Dies (#3, #5, #7, #9, #10, #16)

 

blue yellow fabrics and dies

 

Cutting Directions

 

White

96 of shape #5 triangles

16 of shape #3 triangles

16 of shape #10 signature shapes

Each Light Fabric

  • 16 of shape #9 chisels with half of them flipped

Pro Tip: This will happen if you fanfold your fabric, and if you are using solids it doesn't matter. :)

 

Each Medium Fabric

  • 16 of shape #7 parallelograms with half of them flipped
  • 8 of shape #5 triangles

 

Each DARK Fabric

  • 16 of shape #5 triangles
  • 8 of shape #16 trapezoid shapes

I like to sew as much as possible in one "sitting" before I get up to press the seams, so this is how far I got.

 

step 1 done

 

Then, eight of each of these sets.

 

step 2 done

 

Sew sections together. You will get eight of each section, like this.

 

step 3 done

 

Now, I sewed bigger quarter sections together like this eight of these as well.

 

step 4 done quarter block

 

Then, 2 x 2 blocks like this, the blocks are now 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" because the block is really Qubes wide.

Finally, I sewed these together into a 24 1/2" x 24 1/2" top and quilted it. I followed up by adding binding in yellow.
