My back porch blooms

Lea Anne over at Podunk Pretties is having a quilt along with her free pattern of her Back Porch Blooms.  They are just adorable and I had to join in and get the information here
                                                  


I began my search for fabrics in my stash of course. Thirties fabrics are what I wanted, but I just couldn't come up with the right combination. So off I went to Hobby Lobby to see if they had anything that might go with my 30's. But no, I couldn't find what I wanted.  But, in looking around, I found this brown print and cutie orange polka dot. Before long they jumped into my hands and said I know you have red and green at home to complete your project. Well yes indeed I did!

Came home and cut them right out, sewed them up and here is what I came up with. Gosh you guys these are fun, quick and easy to do!  I have another one planned(more fabric jumped into my arms at Hobby Lobby).


Here it is on our new patio table. Last year we were storing our daughters table and I used it for many of my quilt pictures. We loved having a table on the deck and ate out there a lot last year. So when she wanted it back this year, I told my DH we needed to get one and he agreed. So last weekend we finally found what we wanted-well close to it. I really wanted brownish tiles but this one only came in grey. We can switch out the tiles if we want to.  Friday June 3rd. was my birthday, DH brought home flowers and I thought it was appropriate to display them with the new runner on the new table!
               

I had fun of course with the quilting

Not sure if I like this V border design, just a variation from piano keys.


Top view of my flowers because they are so pretty!

Hop over to Lea Anne's and check out what others are doing. She is having a linky party today so we can show off our projects! Thanks Lea Anne:-)

I will also join in a few other linky parties on my left side bar. So much inspiration out there, isn't it just wonderful!

  2. What a cute little table runner and of course your quilting just adds to it. I love how you did the arcs in the flower petals. I have to say I like the v's in the border.

  13. You are a '3rd' birthday girl too! Mine is April though. How wonderful of your husband to bring you flowers. Perfect on that pretty runner. btw I think the 'v' quilting in the border looks great with the matching quilting in the pot.
