Table Toppers Hop
I'm loving this challenge to make table toppers (it's my first time entering one of these things.) I've been so excited and impressed at all the the mini's that everyone has made--I'm such an amateur compared to all of you! I've never made a quilt this small (12x14), so it took a while to figure out what I wanted to make. I even hand sewed the binding and hated every minute of it! It makes my hands hurt too much.

I also have never made a very small project, but this table topper blog has given me all kinds of ideas. Thanks to everyone that is participating. Great idea and great projects.
