Leaf table runner and QAL

One day I was playing around in EQ8 and came up with this table runner.  It sat on my computer and on my brain for a few weeks before I got around to stitching it.


I quilted it and then raw edge appliqued the leaves on.  Since they are batiks I am not worrying about if they ravel so I straight stitched them on.


 I like it so much I made another!  What do you think should I write up a pattern for it?

I am working along with Sarah's 12 days of Christmas QAL, I am doing mine smaller. This will also be my July challenge for Island Batik fabrics.  I hope you will come back next week to see my finish.  Here are my first blocks all pieced.

Look who I found sneaking up to eat my spirea!!

    I love the way the leaf backdrops get bigger and bigger. The fabric colors are very pretty, too. Wow, that deer!

    You always have the best designs for your table runners! I like how you quilt before sewing on your applique pieces. That's a technique I plan on copying! :)

    Another pretty table runner. I love that batiks do not ravel and I like that your quilted the runner before attaching the appliqued pieces. Interesting.

    Wow. This is fantastic. Write up the pattern; I'll test it for you! I won't tell anyone that Santa's (rein)deer are staying at your place! Haha!

    I love those organic leaf shapes, and would love it you wrote up a pattern! The runner looks fab in fall colors. It would be great in spring greens, too. I'm looking forward to seeing your whole "Rejoice" quilt :)

    Hi Vicki, what lovely table runners. A pattern would probably be a good idea :-) All the best with your 12 Days of Christmas QAL - and I hope you were able to save some of your spirea!
