Hexagonal Quilted Table Toppers with Rose Embroidery

Making a hexagonal quilt is easy using the Diamond ruler by Darlene Zimmerman, while projects with this unique shape stand out from the crowd. We used this concept to create the attractive table toppers you can see below.

The finished size of the table toppers is about 21" in diameter.

We used the Eglantine Rose Set embroidery design for a large (5" x 7") hoop.

For the project we used the Diamond ruler by Darlene Zimmerman and cotton fabrics of different colors:

• about 1/4 yard of white fabric,
• 1/4 yard each of paterned white-and-pink fabric, and
• 1/4 yard of pale green fabrics.

You will also need backing and polyester craft felt for batting and stabilizer.

Cutting:

For each table topper:
Out of white fabric cut:

• 6 diamonds with side 4 1/2";

Out of the patterned fabric cut:

• 6 diamonds with side 4 1/2";

Out of the pale green fabric cut:

• 2 strips 2" wide and the length of the width of the fabric, subcut into 6 strips 12 1/2" long (for the borders)
• 2 strips 2 1/2" wide and the length of the width of the fabric (for the binding)

Assembly:

On your working table place the diamonds as shown.

Sew the diamonds together with a seam allowance of 1/4".

Attach the border strips.

Trim the ends.

Embroidery:

Place the top on the polyester craft felt. Smooth with your hands and baste along the white border.

Embroider the Eglantine Rose designs.

Quilting:

Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Spread your working piece over it.

Pin all three layers together with 1" pins and start quilting. We quilted along the lines of the embroidery and then made stippling all over the mats.

After the quilting is finished, press the piece with heavy steam. Finish the raw edges with the binding.

The Rose Table Toppers are ready. Enjoy!

Happy Stitching!
