While I was cleaning the scraps from my Fall Grapes quilt were on my cutting table. And I have never made a table runner, but a table runner came to mind. So with no pattern I just started to sew together scraps in the same type of way as I did with the quilt. I just connected scraps of different sizes and sewed around a few squares. When I used up the majority of the scraps, it was just the perfect size for a small table topper. I quilted it together by using a swirly loop pattern that I saw on Leah Day's web site. This is the first time I have ever done swirls. I feel that at the end I finally got the hang of it!!!! I sewed the binging on and used another stitch on my machine with swirls to add to the quilting. It was a swirl design. I am loving these extra stitches!!!
Then back to the laundry!!! And even managed a ride to the river before coming home to force my son to clean his room. That is a job in itself!
I think I will give this to Amanda to match her quilt. She is redoing an old sewing table to put beside her reading chair. I think this will be the perfect topper to protect it from what she may put on top!! Hope you enjoy my Friday Finish!!!!
