There is never a mistake, only a new design and this one is really really cool.

the 3rd pic is a perfectly nice pattern that you can call your very own. I like it. something good came out of what you call an error.

Don't know exactly what I'll do with this yet, but it was a good distraction while I came to terms with the fact I couldn't continue with the original pattern because of my mistake. Not enough fabric left to start over.

I think I will figure out some way to supplement the sides of the long runner. Any ideas?
Oh I like that a lot.!! Use some pararie points on the sides see what that will do. I am in a love pp anymore, after using them on one of my lates quilts. They are so easy and look really neat I think. Don't forget to save your new pattern or design and share.

When you thought you had nothing but lemons you sure made some awesome lemonade. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I haven't any mistakes that turned out a gorgeous table runner like yours. Consider yourself a true designer now.
