In my post of May 31, I posted a picture of this quilt as a finished top. At the time I thought I would get it quilted and bound that week. Finally got it done this week. It's for our local Honor Flight Chapter whose next trip will be in September.

This is the back.
I finished it at a quilt in with my local guild. When I showed off the final quilt several of the members threw out the idea that the block would work up into a great table runner.
I took it as a challenge.
Turned out that they were correct. I had some Christmas fabric out for another project that I am working on so I made a Christmas table runner.
This is the back of the table runner. I always try to make the back of a table runner or topper as an independent item. This one will work well for Valentine's Day. It's the heart pattern by Cluckclucksew.
Yesterday was my sisters birthday. This is what she got as part of her gift. It was the "packaging" for her gift card. Sure had more appeal than a cardboard box covered with paper.
I also did several hat and scarf sets and am working on projects for the Christmas in July hop.
Looking forward to seeing you here then. In the mean time, enjoy summer.
Wonderful quilt and that does make an interesting table runner - love how you made it two sided useable. Your mesh bags are great.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finished quilt, Selina! I love the patriotic color hues. And isn't that clever how sweetly the design works into a table runner. Bonus! I like double duty table runners also. A wonderful gift for your sister too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and table runner Selina
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt design and how amazing it looks in a runner. Great idea to make two runners out of one...I need to do that!
