These little table squares are really quick and fun to make. I had a box of vintage 3″ squares which included quite a few old shirting fabrics — not enough to make a quilt, but just right for a tablecloth. After cutting them into triangles, I started playing with the arrangement. In the end, I had to add a few reproduction fabrics — for some reason old shirting pieces are difficult to find. The colored prints are all vintage, about 3/4 of the shirtings are vintage, the border and binding are new fabrics. Just like my other table squares, this one has no batting and is machine quilted in the ditch.
