Geranium Table Topper

By: AccuQuilt
Geranium Table Topper
Geranium Table Topper

Make this bright quilt pattern for table toppers with AccuQuilt dies in the shapes of hearts and flying geese. The Geranium Table Topper features one flower made with heart-shaped petals surrounded by an easy patchwork border. New spring quilt patterns like this are perfect for bringing the best part of the outdoors to your table.

Make sure you pick really bright fabrics so your patchwork quilt pattern and the table topper pattern itself can cheer up the room they're in. This goes to show that flower quilt patterns don't need to be big or overly intricate to be beautiful.

Tried this craft? What did you think?

Lovely little table topper. Wish you would include 'regular' measurements for flying geese and not the AccuQuilt measurements. I make HSTs the 'old fashioned' way and I'm not sure your measurements will give me the right size. I will try it and see. Please remember that not all of us quilters have the AccuQuilt, nor do we want an AccuQuilt. Thanks for considering.

Hi Joan, thanks for your comments! Most of our patterns for quilts that require AccuQuilt fabric cutters are contributed by AccuQuilt designers. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over the measurements they give. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you continue to enjoy our many quilt patterns that do not require an AccuQuilt cutter. Thanks! -- Editor of FaveQuilts

I have the Accu Quilt and really,really like it. I am handicapped and cannot use scissors to easily so i really like it when I can get patterns that use this very useful piece of sewing equipment.
