After I put the bird in the oven, I decided that I needed something to go on the table. I went through all my table clothes and I didn't like them for dinner. So my bright idea was to make a table runner upon which to set all the food that afternoon. My abilities with the sewing machine are such an extraordinary accomplishment, that I knew it would be no problem. (LOL)
My co-worker/friend Lynada gave me some six inch squares in coordinating colors. When I looked at them closer, they looked like holiday prints. So here is what I did with them.
Laying out the pattern took longer than sewing them together. After they were together, I put a backing on it, no batting, it is a table runner, not a quilt. I left about an inch and a half on each side and folded it over twice to create my hem. Here is my finished table runner with backing on my coffee table with flowers.
Kindly disregard the pile of laundry that my teen daughter didn't put away!!! But then, when do they ever.
Just a note about the double wedding ring. I am still working on it. I am taking photos as I go to show you how i do it. Just a little pic to remind you of it.
So, Happy Quilting!
