This is actually my own finished project for a change! I made this table runner for my local guild challenge. Every year we are given three fat quarters and asked to make a small project with them. The rules are very flexible. There are no limits as to how many additional fabrics you can add, or the finished size. These were the fabrics.
I used the Spicy Spiral table runner pattern and a 10 Degree Wedge tool. After I got my head around the instructions, it went together really fast. I decided to try some feathers for the quilting, and a few swirls to fill in the center.
The pattern does not call for traditional binding, but I knew I would prefer it that way. The biggest problem was deciding what color binding to use. I didn't like the look of the binding blending on one side and contrasting on the other, so I decided to use two colors. It was a little finicky to get the seam to line up exactly where I wanted it, but I am very happy with the result.
Very nice, Lori. I really like your binding treatment. All the extra work was worth it.
