The two table runners I am about to share with you were pieced about a year ago. Why didn't I finish them you might ask. Simply because I couldn't figure out how I wanted to quilt them. Fast forward to Monday of this week and I had a plan for both of them, YAY!
The star was what was holding me up a year ago and with a plan in place the star was fun to quilt! I pinned the backing onto the leaders on my longarm, layered the batting and top and basted it on. First up was SID(stitch in the ditch) around the thin red border. Then I checked out a path for the star so I only had one start and one stop per star. I marked it out with white school chalk for the trial run. Yep it worked out perfectly!
After the stars were all done I SID with white Glide thread around the white with red polka dot background and then stippled it. And last were the piano keys for the holly leaf border.
I love how it came out! The Starry Path Accuquilt BOB(block on board) die was used for the stars.
The perfect backing, I had purchased a bolt of this from Marshall Dry Goods last winter. It will come in handy for a lot more Christmas table runners.
The second UFO table runner is also one from an Accuquilt BOB die, Arkansas Traveler.
Same story for this one, I couldn't come up with a quilting design for it until now.
Each diamond was quilted with continuous curve, each block was only one start and one stop.
The background only needed stippling to make the diamonds stand out. Yay two UFO's done, photographed and listed in my shop!
Be sure to hop over to these linky parties for more inspiration, I'm going to link with them of course;)
