I have an abundance of fabrics with blue/aqua/teal that I kept buying to make a quilt-well I made one or two quilts and still had lots and lots left. This fun flower border grabbed my attention and then it was digging around in the stash to find just the right coordinates. It must have taken me over an hour to decide which fabrics to use as I kept thinking oh wait maybe this one, or that one. OMG I said just pick them and get on with it!! I am sure that all of you don't ever have that problem;)
I had just picked up the backing fabric the day before not knowing what I would do with it for sure, and wouldn't ya know it worked perfectly for this runner. Gee I love when that happens!
You can see I machine appliqued the center circle of the flower after the quilting again.
I am calling this my DrEAMi moment this month. You can check out others DrEAMi projects at MMM quilts
Linking with some of my favorite linkies on the left side bar for Thursday and Friday. Be sure to stop by and check them out.
What a cute flower block, Vicki! I'll have to remember how that one is made. Your runner is perfect for spring!
ReplyDeletePerfect colors for spring. I do love polka dots and your table runner!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great springy table runner! I love the polka dots? Now, if spring would just arrive.
ReplyDeleteJust a lovely tablerunner for spring!
ReplyDeleteWell, dontcha know I just love this runner! How is it that you have all the perfect fabrics under your roof just when you need them?! Anyway, it's a very cute runner, Vicki! Are you selling it, or is this one for you?
ReplyDeleteThis table runner just screams spring! I am really drawn to the colors you used; they are my favorites. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring flowers. Now, somebody should convey the message to Mother Nature :-p
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! :D
ReplyDeleteSeems like this runner came together easily (fabric selecting) and quickly! I could agonize over picking fabrics longer than it takes to make something some days! Okay...most days!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteNow this screams Spring! I love the colors and especially the polka dot fabrics. Is this heading to the Etsy shop? I'll bet it's already sold . . . ~smile~ Roseanne
I can see why you were inspired by the border fabric. Those are my favorite colors! And I love that flower block, too. I'm thrilled for you that you can make so many table runners for your shop...that size project is so much faster than even a baby quilt, and just as rewarding. It must be doubly satisfying to have grateful customers, too!
ReplyDeleteExcellent table runner! I'm in love with that fabric as well.
ReplyDeleteOh very nice, you are the runner queen as well as the snowman queen. It’s a lovely reminder that spring is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteLovely runner...so are you keeping it or selling it?
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty and my favorite colors, too! I need to make a runner for my daughters new dresser (her hubby made it for her). This would be perfect! My address is.....;)
ReplyDeleteI know this pretty runner...but there's no comment from me...hmm, either I read it in my inbox and didn't comment, or my comment went poof! into the ether, as I was travelling over the long Easter weekend (for us in Canada it's long) and didn't have regular internet, so sometimes Google didn't recognize me...Anyhow thank you for linking up with DrEAMi! and it's such a beautiful spring-like brighten a grey day (like here) runner!
