ICE CREAM TABLE TOPPER

1 cutFrom the background fabric:

• (2) 28" squares. Fold (1) 28"

square in half, then in half

again to create a 14" square.

Draw a curve along the unfold-

ed edge of the 14" square as

shown. Cut along the marked

line, then unfold to form a cir-

cle. Repeat with the other 28"

square. 1A

• (4) 18" squares to use as the

back of the napkins

From the print fabric:

• (4) 18" squares to use as the

front of the napkins

From the 1/4 yard solid fabric:

• Cut (1) 4½" x width of fabric

strip. Adhere that entire strip

of fabric to the fusible interfac-

ing using dry heat. Using the

MSQC Small Simple Wedge

template, cut (11) ice cream

cones from the strip, rotating

the template after each cut. 1B

• For the large ice cream scoops,

adhere 11 of the 5" squares to

the fusible interfacing. Trace

DINNER

PLATE

each of the fused 5" squares

and cut out.

• For the small ice cream scoops,

cut 11 of the 5" squares to 2½"

x 5" rectangles and adhere to

the fusible interfacing. Trace

the included template onto

each of the 2½" x 5" rectangles

and cut out.

2 arrange and sewLay out the top piece of your table

topper. Set a dinner plate/bowl

in the center of the table topper.

We used a dinner plate that is 11"

in diameter. Arrange the cones by

spacing them out evenly around

the plate/bowl. When happy with

the arrangement, fuse the cones

into place and blanket stitch along

the 2 sides of each cone. There is

no need to stitch along the top of

the cone, as it will be covered up.

2A

Place a small ice cream scoop on

each cone, overlapping the cone

just a bit. Fuse the scoops into

place and blanket stitch along

both sides and the bottom of each

scoop. There is no need to stitch

along the top of the scoop, as it

will be covered up. 2B

3B

Using the same method, place a

large ice cream scoop on top of

each small ice cream scoop. Fuse

into place and blanket stitch all the

way around the scoop. 2C

Layer the topper with backing and

batting and quilt.

When the quilting is finished, trim

the excess batting and backing

away and bind using bias binding.

3 bias bindingCut a 16" square piece of fabric.

Place a pin at the center point on

both the right and left sides of the

square. Cut the square from corner

to corner once on the diagonal. 3A

Place the two triangles together

with right sides facing. Match up

the two pins and sew the two piec-

es together along the same edge

as the pins are placed. 3B

Gently press the seam open. Use a

quilter’s ruler and a pencil to mark

lines 2½" apart. 3C

Bring the top and bottom pieces

of the fabric together to make a

tube. Match up one side of the

fabric with the first drawn line of

the other side. Notice that the tube

is “offset”. Sew the top and bottom

of the tube together and press

the seam open. It may feel a little

awkward but it works like a charm.

3D 3E

Use a pair of scissors and start

cutting at the offset (uneven) end

of the tube on the drawn line. Cut

through one layer until you have

cut the entire tube apart. You will

end up with one long continuous

strip of binding. 3F

After you have finished cutting

along the lines, begin at one end

and fold the strip in half with the

wrong sides facing. Press the fold

in along the entire strip, again be-

ing very careful not to stretch it or

pull it out of shape. 3G
