So Stinkin' Cute!
When I use the words "so stinkin'" cute, I'm usually talking about a baby - Beth's Mina and Tessa, neice Jen's baby Henry, niece Laura's little ones. But this time I'm going to use these words about a table runner I just made. This is so stinkin' cute! It is 52" by 17". The batting I used was InsulBrite, which means this table runner can also serve at a hot pad. Here's how this runner started yesterday:
I started with 2.5" strips, a total of 8 reds and a total of 8 greys. Then I stripped them together. Fellow guildster Terri told me about this clever use of strips by Three Dudes - and this link is on You Tube. I've been wanting a new table runner, and this seemed like the perfect occasion to try this technique. I used scraps on the back of this runner - the Mo Household needs both sides of table runners. I may add some more quilting later. Meanwhile, this is so stinkin' cute!
(A special thanks to Holly, Melissa, and Mimi who gave me some of these fabrics!)

Love it! I've seen that tutorial, and filed it away for a future project (way, way in the future), but I love the layout you chose and placement of color. Your table runner has a lovely, modern feel! I have been obsessed with gray as a background, and am currently working on a queen sized gray and orange quilt. I should have all the blocks pieced by the end of the day. Woot!
This is so awesome!!! I love it! =)
This is SO stinkin' cute! Love it, and the pics.don't do it justice - it looked even more amazing in person!
