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.
How about joining me at these linky parties:
Beautiful runners! Delectable Mountains works so nicely for both big quilts and for runners. Very versatile. Your color choices here were awesome.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty, and you had the perfect backings for them, too! I bet they will sell quickly.
ReplyDeleteBet these beauties won't stick around long, what a great pattern! Yes, you know me, I buy fabric on impulse - haha!
ReplyDeleteYour table runners are fabulous, Vicki. You made great use of the fabric that has been waiting in the wings. I have to admit that I am guilty of buying fabric with no plans in store for it. I have never made a Delectable Mountain quilt. I will have to checkout Bonnie's tutorial. Have a great day. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteI like that pattern I always intend to make it and never have
ReplyDeleteLOVE this, Vicki! This is one of my favorite designs. It always appeals to me and espeically the teal one. Have a happy and safe 4th of July!! {{Hugs}} Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful, Vicki! This is a great block! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteVery nice table runners. I have used BH's instructions for a delectable mountains quilt. Someone will probably grab those runners from your etsy shop fast. Thanks for joining Sew & Tell.
