Jane had the following to say...
My Table Scraps runner for May started out with a friend giving me a piece of decor weight fabric (curtains?) and challenging me to use it. I decided not to cut it small and have lots of thick seams, so I pulled scraps in matching colours and embarked on working out the process for braids which join each other lengthwise. I had seen a couple of pics here and there but no name or directions. I have made a Pioneer or Friendship Braid quilt, but that is one braid repeated then joined with a long seam to the next braid.
The only way I could figure to do it was with partial seams- LOTS of partial seams. Actually if there is an easy way to sew this, I don’t think I want to hear about it now!
I made the braid long enough that I could take off a piece and insert it in the back piece from my friend.
Thanks for the challenge,
I love to see all the entries at the end of the month.
Jane

ReplyDeleteYes, it's lots of partial seams.
Thanks Vireya, I had NO idea of how to search for the pattern. So much work though I think it should be Double Herringbone Panel, not Broken 😉🙄
DeleteThat’s what I say too Vireya. Broken Herringbone

Thanks for the name of the pattern and the link too. I would not have guessed what to search for. I’m pleased to have made the runner but do not plan on making anything bigger in this pattern. 😊

DeleteLove this runner Jane. Looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteJane, you persevered splendidly with the partial seams ! What determination. Great tablerunner. Love all your blends of background pieces.
ReplyDeleteJane, this is gorgeous and worth all of those partial seams! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteJane, I chuckled when you said your table was temporarily being used for hubby's model trains. My dining room table has been covered with political campaign memorabilia for months. PS to Joy, I have about 20" of binding to sew down and my May Table Scraps will be done. I'll send picture later today.

Those Y seams were worth it because your runner turned out fabulous! Thanks for sharing it with us, Jane :)
ReplyDeleteNo matter how you seamed it, you have a beautiful runner to use-wow!
ReplyDeletePretty result, even though those seams probably tried your patience. A nice touch to include a section of braid in the back.
