I decided to do some hand quilting...I think it finished off the project perfectly. I practiced using a couple different kinds of stitches...french knots, crosses and so on. I just let it evolve and had fun.
While I was stitching away, I was in my glory watching this movie. Do you know it? Classic stuff. One of my favorites from the 90s....toe pick!
The plan is to use this as a table topper, but in case I change my mind down the road, I added these triangles on the back for a dowel so I can use it as a wall hanging as well.
And now it has a place of honour on the table for the holiday season!
I am so pleased with how this came together. Sharing over at Quilt Story.

It's a wonderful table topper/mini quilt. I love that movie. I remember watching it over and over again and haven't seen it in some time. Thanks for the reminder
Very very festive! I love your hand-stitching.
Perfect! How pretty it looks with the candle on it!
Oh my gosh this is stunning! I should make something small like this to test out hand stitching - great idea! Your fabric choices are fantastic.
It turned out beautifully and you're right , the hand embellishments look wonderful.
TOE PICK! oh yes...do i ever remember that movie...i need to dig it up somewhere to watch soon! your table topper/wall hanging is beautiufl!

Love the hand quilting and that film! Must go search Netflix...
The hand quilting on this is amazing! Great finish!
absolutely lovely! the handstitching reminds me of little doodles making their way around the starry scene. it looks as though it was a joy to make.
I really love this! I've been seeing so many small Christmas projects lately that have a patchwork cream background. I'm inspired to try one myself! (Maybe after the holidays...)
Gorgeous gorgeous!
It is beautiful! Great job on the hand quilting. I love it!

Sorry - the sewing for me was not the highlight of this post - although fantastic! But as soon as I saw that movie cover it was all I could think about! It is total 90's rom com crack! I love it! Thanks for sharing :-)
Wow, that is so pretty! Now I want to make one and I have never hand quilted before and this is the first time I've felt like I even want to try!
Your table topper is gorgeous! That movie is one of my all time favorites!!! You definitely have great taste! Happy Holidays to You! Toe Pick! ;)
I love how you just let it evolve into what it wanted to be. Lovely!
I really love the quilting on your topper - it's beautiful!
LOVE this! Can't believe you're putting candles on it. Clearly you are not as inclined to spatter candle wax about as I am.
Love love love it! The sewing and the movie.
I love this one! So Pretty.
It's just lovely, Kristie! How great do those candy cane candles look in the middle of your beautiful new table topper?!
It turned out so perfectly. I LOVE it. It's also pretty excellent that you have a glass bowl so none of your pretty stitching is hidden!
Seriously amazing mini quilt, and I LOVED that movie, I used to know all the lines!
