Her October entry is another beauty...
A very modern looking runner:
This is the story that Jane shared along with her photo...
A few months ago I made a quilt for my husband’s ophthalmologist who has been marvellous to him/us. I knew his favourite colour was blue, and remembered a quilt I had seen a lot of years ago. I have no idea when/where so can’t give any credit.
As the type of piecing was not usual for me, I drew and printed paper templates and pieced directly onto them. I made enough blocks for a row and it lived on our table for a week or so while we decided we liked it enough to go ahead.

After the quilt was finished and gifted, my husband asked me to actually make a table runner similar to the test run and now it is also finished. I only made 5 blocks as the length of the 8 blocks in the queen size quilt was too long for the table.
Thanks again Joy for the challenge and for posting my runner each month. I have a few more ideas darting around for the next couple of months. The challenge has kept me on track so far…

Now that runner is really attractive! I like a new design she has achieved!
ReplyDeletePretty! So the color is blue this month? I have a hard time keeping up with the color of the month.
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry Nancy, but I have not been following the RSC colours. I have been making runners I particularly wanted to do.
DeleteSo pretty in blue! I'd better go finish my table topper....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt and table runner. I really like how modern it looks. And, the table runner sure looks great on your table.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous quilt, and a lovely gift! Making a tablerunner out of the scraps so that you get to keep a little of that quilt in your home is such a great idea. Beautiful finish, Jane!
