I've never done a blog hop so I'm super excited to be a part of this Table Topper Blog hop put together by the fabulous Madame Samm. She has a full schedule of bloggers so this will be a lot of fun!
I always end up with little orphan quilt blocks... maybe they didn't turn out just right... didn't fit in with the rest of the quilt...etc. This particular block was a larger one with very wavy edges. So I squared it up to a 6" block...
quilted it...
...and bound it.
The table topper comes from Ackfeldwire where they have an abundance of stands, screens and hangers to display your big quilts and little quilts.
My kitchen has lots of black in it {note: black granite is not a good idea; it shows everything!}. I also have a lot of bright colors in there so I had fun choosing this block and then going out of my comfort zone with the chartreuse binding.
This will definitely not be my last topper and I love that this stand lets me change out my mini quilts for holidays or even just for fun!
Thanks for stopping by today! Please make sure to stop by my fellow hoppers:

glad you could join in - such a cute little topper and love the chartreuse binding :)
Thank you for sharing your very dramatic tabletopper quilt, very nice. I ordered my stand last night and can see that maybe one stand is not going to be enough. Made my first mini, a 11 x 12 L'il Twister. Thank you for sharing such wonderful inspiration. I live in Keller----small world.
I love the yellow POP of the borders! How fun! (I had black dishes when my Honeyman and I first got married, ummm can we say water spots! No matter HOW you washed them! LOL)
So very cute! I have ordered from that company as well--they have great items. I love seeing creative ideas with orphan blocks.
Perfect idea for orphan blocks. I need to open the orphan block drawer and consider the possibilities.
A great way to use an orphan block that is too pretty to scrap. Love this smaller frame and may have to look for one that size. Thank you for sharing with us today.
Very different and original table topper. They sure look like fun to make and I love small projects because you can "get 'em done".
Great little topper and I also like this size frame, your block is a lovely modern design and I think the binding is perfect! Thanks for sharing .
LOVE it!
This is such a good idea to give reject blocks their own space to shine because none are ever really rejects.
What a perfect way to show off a pretty orphan block! I love the punch the bright binding adds to the b&w. Very stylish, Jennifer. Thanks for sharing it with us!
I love the black and white (and the tip about black granite!) table topper. Black and white is always so striking! blessings, marlene
Hi Jennifer! Welcome to blog hopping!
Thanks for your kind comment. ;-)
A very contemporary looking topper (straight line) and works so well with your frame (curvy). I really like the combination! I'm a new follower!
That looks great. It is so graphic, and I love the green that you added - that really makes the whole thing pop.
I just got done reading your whole blog. Great work cant wait for more
I really like your table topper. The quilting is what caught my eye. I really like it.
I was also thinking that the table toppers would be a wonderful use for orphan blocks. That looks fabulous and I am sure it looks great on the black granite.
Great mini! And I love your choice of stand...thanks for sharing!

I love making minis and yours is adorable...love the color combo and your stand is so cute! TFS

If my orphan blocks looked like that, I would have a house full of mini quilt hangers. It is a stellar table topper.

I love the idea of using an orphan block ( as a new quilter, I have several orphan blocks).
I love how the chartreuse binding brings out the cute chartreuse bees.
