I have spent this last week just working on my own projects. Making some good headway with fall seasonal items. This is my favorite time of year and I love the new fall seasonal fabrics available now. I am pretty sure the Fat Quarter Shop loves me.
I finally started work on my November holiday table runner. The Falling Leaves fat quarter bundle I ordered is just beautiful and came with a panel that I cut and used on each side of the center pieced block.I got the pattern for the center block, must admit it was a bit complicated with all the HST's and I did not make life easy for myself as I wanted the leaf points to float to avoid cutting them off when sewing the sides pieces on and binding the runner. I know a quilter does have to have some math skills, but no one said geometry was needed as well. Sure appreciate this Quilter's Select quilting ruler, which helps tons quilting this piece without having to use marking pens. Binding all prepped and ready to add. I finished the last of my pumpkin runners, it is off as a gift for one of our daughters.

That's a great table runner. I was trying to figure out what you had done to get those leaves on the side...very clever use of the fabric. Nice quilting too. Do you do ruler work with your domestic machine? I'm going to need to learn how when I finally give up on my long arm. Either that or quilt by check.
ReplyDeleteI love autumn fabrics too and I especially love your scrappy leaf.
ReplyDeleteBoth runners turned out beautifully. The fall one is really stunning. Yeah, geometry is a whole other area of quilt math. I had to look up the Pythagorean theorem to cut setting triangles for one of my quilts that didn't have a pattern. Not hard, just not at the front of my mind. Whoever says you won't ever need that math ever obviously never quilted.
ReplyDeleteLovely fall projects!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! (I do love my QS rulers! They're the best!)
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics made into terrific table runners! I love the leaf table runner! You scored with the geometry. Floating the leaves was the perfect choice!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects

ReplyDeleteYeah, you are a geometry master! I love the leaf and the panel on the sides is beautiful. Pretty new runner, ready for the season! Your pumpkins runners are lovely too, great one with black fabrics! Thank you for sharing your projects and linking up!
ReplyDeleteThe leafy panel is the perfect frame for the block. I like the multi-patch maple leaf.
