Buffalo Check Table Topper

This little Halloween table topper is "Buffalo Check Table Topper", by Carried Away.  It comes in a Christmas design as well, included in the same pattern. The Christmas version has little wrapped presents rather than pumpkins. It is always fun to put out new seasonal decor, even though my table runner cupboard is starting to overflow!

The quilting design is an overall pumpkins on the vine pattern that I think is perfect. I used Moda solids for the checkerboard effect and leftover Fig Tree scraps from a Halloween-themed layer cake.

My dining room table is better suited to a long narrow table runner, but sometimes I like to use a square one for variety. My buffet is in the background, cleared of homeschooling detritus for the first time in almost three years.

Have you got your Halloween decorations out? I figure we only have about three weeks to enjoy them before they go back and the more subtle Thanksgiving decorations come out. And then, of course, we go full tilt boogie with the Christmas madness. By January, I will be ready for a minimalist look with nothing cluttering any surface of the house!

I made 2 of these and 2 of the Christmas pattern. One to keep and one to gift. I love your plaid in the center of the stars. Happy Halloween to you.

That table topper is just as cute as can be! Thanks for linking the designer, the pattern is 20% off in their Etsy shop!

Shortly after you showed this topper I made the pumpkin version, too. I've put mine 'on point' on my dining table to enjoy for a few weeks. Then, as you said, we're on to the next holiday & the next one...
