Squeeze the Day Table Topper

Description

Add a burst of summer sunshine to your home with the delightful “Squeeze the Day” quilt pattern! This cheerful 58″ x 58″ table topper design by Cynthia Couttier perfectly captures the fresh, vibrant energy of summer fruits with its playful combination of watermelons, pineapples, oranges, and citrus motifs. Perfect for beginner to intermediate quilters looking to create a statement piece that brings joy to any dining space.

The pattern features a stunning medallion-style layout that combines traditional piecing techniques with beautiful fruit-themed panels. At its heart, a single large Block 3 creates a dramatic star centerpiece, while four Block 1 panels showcase gorgeous fruit illustrations. These are complemented by four Block 2 units in the corners that feature an engaging combination of squares and triangles, creating a dynamic visual flow throughout the design. The finishing touch is a spectacular fruit-filled border that frames the entire piece perfectly.

What makes this pattern especially approachable is its smart use of pre-printed panels combined with basic quilting techniques. The clear, step-by-step instructions guide you through everything from cutting your fabrics (including handy tips for working with directional prints) to the final border assembly. The finished quilt makes an ideal summer entertaining accessory, whether you’re hosting a brunch, afternoon tea, or casual family dinner. Plus, with its cheerful color palette of corals, greens, and sunny yellows, this quilt brings a fresh, modern take on traditional table topper designs.
