Our Best Table Toppers
Dress a table or dresser with one of these table toppers--from traditional color palettes that will fit any decor to bright designs that will add a punch of color to a room.
Paisley to Please [1]
A long-time decorating favorite, the paisley pattern is back with updated flair. Show off hand or machine quilting once the simple piecing and appliqué are done.
Peekaboo Patterns [4]
Seemingly mismatched prints come together beautifully in this table topper. In the Pinwheel units, bright fabrics peek through a solid background.
Tiny Treasures [7]
An X marks the spot on this table topper, where Four-Patch blocks and X blocks form a large overall X. Sea blues and sandy tans contrast perfectly with pops of red and orange.
Columns are Color [10]
Columns of bright prints stand out against darker prints for a dramatic quilt. Black squares in the centers of the columns give the columns a braided look.
Wheel of Fortune [13]
A scrappy circle composed of a variety of blues and greens is the standout of this project. A fun border of smaller spheres and arches continues the rounded motif for a table topper with a whimsical look.
Autumn Prairie Points Table Topper [16]
Make an autumn-inspired table topper fit for a nature lover. The prairie points reinforce the fern fronds in the predominant print.
Batik Courthouse Steps [19]
Sew Courthouse Steps blocks using purple batiks. For striking contrast between blocks, use dark strips for all sides of the B blocks.
Squares and Stars Tabletop Quilt [22]
Alternate blocks to create the illusion of squares set on point. If you want the blocks to stand out, choose complementary colors for blocks A and B.
Scrappy Strip-Pieced Squares [25]
If you’re hooked on the look of crochet, here’s how to get it with fabric rather than yarn. Craft each scrappy block from strip-pieced squares in six 1930s reproduction prints.
Crisscross Table Topper [28]
Electrify your table with a bright table topper. The solid outer border has the illusion of piecing, thanks to a fabric made up of multiple "print" squares.
Harvest Table Topper [31]
The warm colors in this table topper celebrate autumn's bounty. Wild Goose Chase blocks alternate with 10-1/2" squares cut from a cornucopia print. A border print fabric of fall fruits makes an ideal outer border.
Easy Squares Table Topper [34]
Four-Patch blocks, setting squares, and rectangles are all you need to make an easy-to-piece table topper.
Scrappy Nine-Patch Quilt [37]
Nine-patch and triangle-squares are the perfect combination for this tabletop quilt.
Fresh Four-Patch Table Topper [40]
Four-Patch blocks and setting squares team up for a fabulous table topper.
Autumn Appliqué Table Topper [43]
Here, appliqués in rich colors hold their own against a prominent gold-and-red homespun background.
Scrappy Kaleidoscope Table Topper [46]
An unlikely plaid creates an abstract circular illusion around the center Kaleidoscope block. Chose high-contrast prints for the asymmetrical borders to give your quilt a scrappy quality.
Pink Flower Table Topper [49]
Are you new to appliqué and want to start out small before committing to a whole project? Make this one-block table topper.
Autumn Batik Table Topper [52]
If combining colors is a challenge for you, turn to Mother Nature for inspiration. Batik fabrics in a variety of autumn colors, patterns, and textures are assembled into a square table topper.
Four-Pointed Star Chain [55]
Create an Irish Chain effect with careful placement of the squares in the five star and four 25-Patch blocks. A two-color checkerboard border provides a neat frame to the table topper.
Irish Chain Table Topper [58]
Showcase your fussy-cutting skills in a striking table topper. Select high-contrasting, strong colors to create a graphic quilt.
Salute to Stars [61]
It's easy to make this quilt bigger or smaller by adding blocks to or subtracting blocks from each row.
Mini Sawtooth Stars [64]
Make 3"-square Sawtooth Star blocks using a traditional piecing method or the foundation-piecing pattern.
