...for my kitchen island this Christmas! Yesterday was the last class. I had a GREAT time!
The pattern actually calls for a 4" border all the way around and then the binding. However, when I took the runner down to my island, I discovered that if I did add the 4" border it would be longer than my island and proportionately too wide.
So I am calling it "completely pieced" at this point and will begin the "stitch in the ditch" quilting tomorrow. Hopefully by the weekend this will be done. Then I will consider making a "non-Christmas" one for my folks/aunt for a Christmas gift. They have a huge island and mom mentioned they would like to find an "everyday" runner for on top of the granite. I think I may have some batiks in their colors. Their island is much larger than mine, so the full size runner would be perfect.
Toodles...
Wow, a wonderful runner, you did a brilliant job
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melody! The class was wonderful and I learned techniques that will make all of my quilting from this point forward easier. To think I have been doing things the hard way for SO long!
