Christmas scrappy rectangles squared tabletopper

 I made this for a gift for our party of people I work with....
I used a jelly roll of different Christmas fabrics....
and I made up a very simple design....

 I did machine binding with the buttonhole stitch...
very fun to do....Pat Sloan has a really good tutorial on binding by machine...

 I used decorative stitches along the seam lines...
and wrote messages along the borders....

 here is a photo without flash....
total is 20" x 16"...

I am linking with Linky Party Tuesday, finish it up Friday and Link a Finish Friday.

smiles and hugs....Caryl
