Nancy warned me that gingham would pull me down the rabbit hole. I think she is right! Okay so this is only the second one, but I know there are at least two or three more I would like to make. Remember the green one I showed you last week, it sold so I had to make another ya know!!
There were flowers in the yellow print so I took that as a sign to quilt a flowery design on it.
And look what I found in my stash for the binding, a fun plaid! It just makes me happy when I can shop my stash and have it right at my finger tips instantly. Well almost instantly, it takes a while to find it sometimes!!
But wait there's more! Just a little teaser, I'll show it better when I am totally done. Last Friday I decided I should start making a crib size to have on hand, or just because I could! I might be stuck on orange for the moment:) I finished it on Saturday when I joined in the Saturday Sew In on Jennifer's facebook group. These are Island Batik fabrics leftover from when I was an Ambassador for them. I haven't decided how to quilt this one yet so I will wait patiently until I decide. In the meantime I will go back to making more table runners.

When something is fun, it’s FUN! Making your own gingham design would be hard to not make more in different colors and fabrics. It’s like making it the first time every time. That baby quilt top looks really playful.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely gingham quilts! Such a simple design but such beauty, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - I love the yellow runner! You and Nancy - the gingham sisters! Haha!
ReplyDeleteSuch cheerful colors for this gingham.
ReplyDeletesuch a simple design and makes such a statement
ReplyDeleteThose are fun! You seem to have the perfect fabrics for each combination you try, Vicki!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the rabbit hole!! Hehe! They're absolutely sunny and beautiful, Vick!! I need to make a table runner, too!!!
ReplyDeleteThe gingham looks so happy! I love the yellow and orange together, and the binding on the runner is fantastic. Congratulations on your cheerful, happy finishes.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy runner...I'm inspired to make one too, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty drops of sunshine... Who knew there would be sunshine in the rabbit hole :-D
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAwesome table runner. Love the orange...it seems I don't
use much orange..I'll have to put this on my list of fabrics
to buy...great excuse to go fabric shopping! Have a great day!
The colors for the crib size will make a happy baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the orange gingham! The orange crib quilt will be so fun, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Oh yes, I can see why it pulled you in and down the rabbit hole. I think I like this version even better than the green one. Yellow and orange are just fun together and the white/orange polka dots are the perfect choice to pull them both together. You are just trying to pass on the gingham bug, aren't you. This is very, very inspiring and tempting to jump in with both feet. Great job and I'm not one bit surprised that the green one sold so quickly!! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteLove the gingham! I made a crochet gingham blanket recently and love it. If you check out Daisy Farm Crafts you can get a lot of great inspiration for more gingham blankets. Theirs are crochet but the designs would translate well to fabric.
ReplyDeleteLol, I knew this was one of your photos and runners before I ever clicked on the link. This would be a good one for fat quarter bundles I purchase for a baby quilt but decided not to use.
ReplyDeleteI've been bitten by that squirrel who lives in the rabbit hole... Love the orange/yellow ones!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow and orange are so pretty together!
ReplyDeleteWell if it's a rabbit hole it's a very pretty one! Love this newest gingham runner. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteIts a great rabbit hole! I know I will fall down it too.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great. Blue or red is next or black and white.
