In between working on donation quilts I needed something smaller for quicker finishes. Delectable Mountain table runners to the rescue, three of them in fact! First up was a teal one as I still had teal fabrics on my mind after making two of the teal braid runners.
A beautiful green/purple batik was perfect for a fall runner. These measure 15x47.5". The quilting design I chose to do was freehand feather clusters from a Patsy Thompson DVD which I have had for years. It's an easy but so effective design.
I have waited a long time figuring out exactly what to do with this fabric and it was perfect for a backing. Do you buy fabric without knowing what pattern you will use it with? I do sometimes;)
And this green batik will be great as a year round runner, or spring when all things start growing again, and even for a fall runner. It's very versatile with more bang for your buck! I used the same background fabric for these last two.
And a nice green piece for the backing. Have you ever made a delectable mountain runner or quilt? It's pretty easy. I used Bonnie Hunters scrappy mountain majesty block tutorial for mine. These three runners are now listed in my Etsy shop.
