Layers of Charm and sort of WOOFA..........

 Well.........my sister made me do it again..........you know that no matter how old we get we still fall into those old "big sister-little sister patterns"...........I mentioned to my Sis that I saw a layer cake pattern at FQS that looked really simple and quite pretty...but the LAST thing I needed to do was start another project when I have so many UFOs waiting for me.......


So, of course, Sis says,   So are you going to make a table topper with it?"....

and I say, "It sure looks easy, doesn't it?".... (Now I have her going.....and I see that she thinks she has me going!)........

Her:  "I have learned that things like that are deceptive".....

Me:   "Now you are just trying to goad me into doing it!  I see through your evil plan..."

she counters with, "Me? Not me.  I just don't want you to get in over your head..."

we go on back and forth with the little dance and then....well........forget it..........I realize I've been had......so I may as well get 'er done.............

Here is the table topper..........I made it in less than a day from start to finish........easy peasy..........here is the front........(bad photo...it is really more vibrant in real life....)

After sewing the 5 inch charm to the corner of each layer cake square and cutting off I was left with 16 triangles which I sewed together and used for the back...............I added some machine applique and VOILA!.........

It is now on it's way to Big Sis for her Autumn table..........some things never change.........lol.............


and as far as WOOFA..........I did actually do a little work on Long Time Gone .......Instead of making more checkerboard squares to go in some of the big spaces I found a couple of orphan blocks that I adapted to go with the quilt........just a few more filler blocks to go and I think the flimsy will be ready!


Please check out all of the other WOOFA projects on Cheryll's page at Gone Stitching...........thanks for hosting Cheryll!

Reading this makes me wish I had a sister! Methinks the 'influencing' goes both ways.

The table topper turned out great! And the quilt is lovely.

Awe. I’m loving the table topper. I KNEW all along that you could do it AND thank you for making it for me. It looks beautiful on my kitchen table and is all the more special because you made it. LTG is coming along great. Maybe I’ll still have time to work on mine and maybe finish mine around the time you finish your. Loving you.
