So I owe a favor to a friend and said I would make her a tablerunner. I asked her what color scheme she had for her dining room and she said 'gold'. Walls apparently are white, table is rectangle cherry wood.
I don't really do country patterns and this is a formal dining room so I am at a loss. Suggestions? |
When I think country pattern I think log cabin. Also a pinwheel could be very country.
Check out quilterscache.com. They have lots and lots of blocks to choice from. |
Dresden plate in gold and creams, set in white!

I have made a few of these and it is very nice. I can also send a pic of the one I made for my guest room also. Let me know if this opens it is the first item on pdf file others are quilt related also |
I'm not sure what country 'formal' is. To me country is casual. Anyway I would think that any traditional pattern would work. What makes a quilt country is the choice of fabrics. You could google images for 'country quilts' and get an idea of patterns and fabrics. Homespuns and calicos are country but a lot of others look country too.

I think I would make 2 or 3 table runners and let her choose the one she likes best. The others could be gifts for the upcoming holidays. Just a thought.
