Not crazy about color choice. Made this one for my cousin for Easter.
She called me today to tell me that every time she looks at the table it makes her happy, cheerful and smile.
so, glad to make her days happy!

Your table runner reminds me of spring! Very pretty! 8-)
I'm just about finished with my first French braided runner.
How are you going to attach the binding? Will your corners be mitered. :?:

this is one of the sites with a method for french braid

That's the same site I found my pattern. I added a 1" border, and a 3" outside border to make it wider.
I've always made my binding, but the site suggested to buy it. Maybe, the binding I've made is too thick. I wanted to miter the corners. With the purchased binding would I just ease it into place?
I think I'm making this project harder than it should be. :roll:

Great job! No wonder she loves it..I still have to try that one.

Very pretty. I will have to try a french braid sometime soon.
