Blooming Beauty Tabletopper

Finished Mystery Pictures
 

This beautiful tabletopper finishes at 34" x 34" in just five hours! Need it slightly larger? There is an optional border which will make it 40" x 40". Pattern includes detailed and full color illustrations. Perfect for beginning quilters.

Available as an instant download for only $4.95.

Notes: WOF means Width of Fabric. A 1/4" seam is assumed. This pattern uses a Large Flying Geese Ruler by Quilt-in-a-day to make Flying Geese blocks.

Suggestion: If you cut all your fabric ahead of time, put your pieces into bags or envelopes marked with their block number. That way you won’t get them mixed up.
