I chose to use a blenders bundle from a new line they released at Spring Market called Olivera which you should be able to find in quilt shops this fall. There are so many different curve rulers and patterns out there. At first I thought I would use my Quick Curve ruler and then I found this pattern called Lemon Slices at Annie's on sale for only $1 and it looked fun and different. I love the curved ends!
A little close up so you can see the wonderful fall colors in these blenders. Superior Threads Fantistico #5061, which is variegated greens, was my thread of choice for quilting. Aurifil was used in the piecing.
From another angle.
Next month we are challenged to make a baby quilt-fun!!! And I started it yesterday:)
It's always fun to see how someone else interprets the challenge. You can find out by checking out their blogs.

Very nice piece! I stay away from curves as I've heard they can be dangerous :)
ReplyDeleteIf thread changed out with a metallic, this would be the perfect Christmas holiday piece!!! Super nice!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's fun, Vicki! I was always afraid to try curved piecing until I actually tried it, and it was easy! Now I want to do some more. I love the shape you used in this table runner, and of course your quilting is always wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLovely, especially the curved corners! Thanks for sharing today on Midweek Makers
ReplyDeleteI haven't sewn curves in years. My one and only curved project made it into a quilt book, to show that you could use her template without using one of the patterns. Nice table runner. I have baby quilts in my future, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried curves yet, but they are on my list. Very nice runner!
ReplyDeleteThis is very nice. Did you use a ruler to cut the curves?
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThose curved corners are very cool! You are having a productive week!
ReplyDeleteOh that is REALLY unique, Vicki...you need to make at least one more for your Etsy store so you can keep one for yourself. Really neat idea & very different.
ReplyDeleteI like how you quilted it, too.
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle over the working on 'my' curves. Wow - that looks great. I would go so far as to say perfect! Baby quilts next month . . . what????!!! I am anxious for you to share and I WILL check out everyone's links. I always love to see new baby quilts. ~smile~ Roseanne
This is a very unique pattern and I love your color choices. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun one! You seem to be enjoying your stint as an ambassador :)
ReplyDeletea great runner and fun how you curved (omitted the edges)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool shape! A really nice change of pace from the standard rectangular table runners. The autumnal batiks are yummy :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Doreen that this pattern would be super for Christmas, too. The gentle curve would mimic a poinsettia leaf.
So beautiful. I love how you curved the corners as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful answer to the curve challenge! I love this pattern, and of course the batiks are so luscious. Your quilting is perfection! Thanks for linking up to Wednesday Wait Loss.
