Runner with Island Batik

Remember when I teased you with this picture of fabric scraps a while back?  Well now I can reveal what I made with them.












Island Batik generously sent me a Half yard bundle of their yummy new releases from Spring Market that was held in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. They let me choose what I wanted to make with them in return for a few blog posts about my finished item showcasing their fabric-Thank you Island Batik!!








Here are the 3 fabrics I chose for this table runner.



















































And here is what I created...















The pattern is Good to be Square from Quilters Dream. It's for a quilt but there is a bonus pattern for the runner!

I quilted it with Glide thread, Hobbs 80/20 batting. First I meandered a spine across the runner and then on each side of the spine I freehanded a row of ferny feathers, so fun and freeing to quilt those!

Linking up with a bunch of wonderful linky parties, see the links on my side bar and come on let's go get inspired by others that are linking up too!!

    I thought of Connie as soon as I saw your gorgeous runner and am really glad that she got to see it too. Those are beautiful batiks and you sure did them proud Vicki! The feathery fern quilting you did on this is stunning!

    The quilting is really nice! Lovely colour palette for a summer table, I can see it set with fresh flowers and some nice cool salads, accompanied by a tall glass of iced tea.
