My mq7 is about to become a ufo! I've spent night pinning both sides to different pieces of batting I wanted this as reversible tablecloth I was gonna try fmq but havn't practised yet and don't want to ruin this further so i am thinking of doing both individually diagonal stitching then securing both with hand tied bows which i hate sewing anything by hand. Maybe I should scrap the reversible idea and do two individual quilts Can anyone help me make this decision? I think for me to start fmq I should do that on solid not print. I'm so perplexed on how I'm completing this. Maybe I should scrap the batting idea and just sew them like a pillow case.

Sorry to hear of oops but mine sure had plenty just couldn't figure the borders right. On your oops could you do applique label or tree snowman flower ...

I did do an appliqued flower over the OOPS and then had to repeat it on the other end so it would be balanced. I'll post a photo when I get the borders done. I'm kind of glad I did the OOPS as I like the repair! :-)

I made a horrible and major OOPS in the top which completely ruined it.

Oh I'm so sorry, Judy. All that work! I too made a math mistake with my pieced border and I've just now sliced, resewed and attached it. I hate this getting older stuff. My brain seems to be in a mist some days.

Is - your MQ 7 looks great on your table. Such pretty colors.

is2116, your MQ7 makes a wonderful table cover. Great idea and beautiful choice of fabrics.

I made a horrible and major OOPS in the top which completely ruined it. I wasn't paying attention and sliced a CHUNK out of the top. I had to do a creative repair. Will post a picture when I get the borders on next week.

Looking at yours, I may use mine for a table cover also.

Nope Is, It didn't affect the quilt at all to have somewhat hot things placed on the table. Now if it was coming right from the oven, I just put a hot pad or pot holder under it. It was usually something that wasn't going t get passed anyway as it was too hot. Good luck. Ginny

For tableclothes I usually use flannel for batting. It gives it a bit of structure and body but not too thick to drape nicely over the edge of the table. The flannel also acts as a bit of padding for hot dishes to sit on.

great idea on clear plastic since all that goes on table is place settings otherwise i'd be afraid that it would melt to quilt.
