patchwork tablecloth

good morning all!
i tackled the patchwork quilt yesterday from start to finish yesterday.
love projects that can be done in one sitting!
i'm super pleased with how it turned out.

here are the fabrics (vintage sheets mostly) i chose.
i found the embroidered white cotton in Spotlight on special.
i used the largest quilting square, and worked out that i would need
4 squares x 7 squares to cover our 1m x 2m dining table.
i laid out the squares out on the lounge room floor to work out the best
configuration.
such a happy tablecloth!
this would also be a cute curtain idea, and could easily be turned into a quilt one day
if i wish :)
