I have this cute little table that sits outside. It's a white aluminum thing I got on clearance at Target at the end of last summer. There's nothing special about it, but it makes a very nice place to put the iPod speakers in the summer.
Even though it's a nice white color, it is also a bit boring. So I thought I would spruce it up. So I went through my stash and pulled out some 'Happiness Is..' fabric with cute little Snoopy all over it and matched it up with some nice summery colors.

Considering that I really wanted to use the Snoopy fabric as the feature fabric, I decided to make a quick disappearing 9-patch. So I cut 6 and a half-inch squares of four different fabrics (including the Snoopy stuff) and sewed them into a 9-patch block. I made sure that the Snoopy squares were located in the four corners of the block. Then I cut the 9-patch in half both vertically and horizontally. After mixing them up into a pleasing pattern, I stitched them back together and did some straight-line quilting next to the seams.
The whole project took me about 4 hours including hand sewing the binding. My little table now has a cute cover.
