Let’s Make A Quilt, it’s OUR 47th Wedding Anniversary !

A Table Topper Quilt Pattern to Make

Forty-seven years of marriage—can you believe it?
That’s 17,155 days of wedded bliss, occasional debates over everything, and more shared meals than we can count (some more successful than others), I really do try?!?

 And since 47 years deserves a little something special and I love a simple quilt project, they are kind of like a marriage, quilting requires patience, creativity, and a good seam ripper.

Seams are perfectly straight, but sometimes they need a little adjustment, and in the end, it all comes together beautifully (kind of like Husband and I).

So here’s to 47 years of love, laughter, and never quite agreeing on why we need a eating schedule?!? Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to celebrate—with cake, of course.
Cheers to love, stitches, and YOU make this happy table topper, it’s one I use all the time. It has a finished size of 18″ x 24″, made with simple 2 1/2″ squares. Nothing better than 2 1/2″ cut squares.
