Patriotic Table Topper and New Baby Quilt

I found a great tutorial for a table topper on Moda Bake Shop.  It whipped up in no time at all, and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.  It would be a good table topper for a rectangular entryway table or maybe on a pretty big dining room table.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, because it seems pretty darn big to me!



I also learned another lesson to either trim the darker seam allowance or press toward the dark.  You can kind of see a shadow of the darker seam allowance behind the white Moda muslin.  Oh well!  It still is very pretty.

I also am making another baby quilt for a friend's new baby.  It is her first...a girl who weighed over 8 pounds!  Luckily all of my kids weighed 7 pounds or less.  I had one friend whose son was 11 and a half pounds when he was born!!!!!

The fabric is Michael Miller and I chose 3 colors.  I think it looks alright.  I'm not sure about what kind of quilting design to use.  I am stalled at this point. 


The backing is a pretty floral swirly print.  I'll post a finished photo soon...once I figure out how to quilt it.
