It's always a fun day when you get to start something new isn't it. Wednesday I declared a day of fun working on one of the new panels I just purchased a couple weeks ago. I am a big fan of red truck decor so I couldn't resist this panel.
After trimming and squaring it up I added the black/gray marbled border, throw in some gingham and it's all coming together. But wait it needs some more color. Okay, so whip up some green and red flying geese units and top it off with an outer border of the black/gray marble.
And then to transform it with some quilting, always another fun step for me.
I Couldn't resist pulling it all together with the striped binding.
Luckily I had pieced two of these table runners a while back. A gal bought one and wanted another. All I had to do was quilt and bind the second one. These are made using the creative grids pineapple ruler. Inspiration from a Cottage Rose pattern.
I was out of my Snow Dudes table runners so I pieced and quilted another one of them this week also. Never a dull moment, LOL

You had the perfect border fabrics to go with that panel! That turned out great! I thought of you yesterday at my local quilt group. A friend brought a panel quilt to share that she had made - a cute panel of gnomes was the center, and then a bunch of plaids for the borders. It's a fun one, and just your style!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh — we’re allowed to do that?! To just declare a Day of Fun? I want to do that TODAY, because every other day this week has been the Day of Too Much Work, the Day of Falling Behind, and the Day of Questioning My Life Choices. Hah! Thanks for the reminder that we all deserve a day off to just play with fabric and have fun. :-). Your Christmas truck panel looks great with the flying geese you added and those snowman table runners are just adorable. Thanks for linking up with me for TGIFF this week!
