Interstellar


The sewing room closet is still not completely cleaned, but I’m enjoying the process. I must have bought the kit for this table topper at least two or three years ago. The fabric is from a line called Katie's Cupboard by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass Fabrics. It debuted in 2017 and has been out of print for ages. The quilt pattern called for three nearly equal borders with non-mitre corners and a finished size of 16.75” square. I thought that looked a little clumsy, so I fashioned two half-inch inner borders and one 3 1/2-inch outer border with mitred corners. I used every bit of the teal print, so the finished top is 20” square. I don’t know if the change has made it more elegant, but it’s definitely more ME. I can’t expect to find more of the same prints to use for the back and binding, but Kim Diehl’s current line, Esther’s Heirloom, does contain a lot of coordinating colors.
