My First Tablerunner
I was asked by a local quilt shop owner to write patterns for kits using my designs for her to put in her shop. This weekend is the Iowa Shop Hop and the organizers designed a focus fabric and Robert Kauffman produced the fabrics.
So she wanted me to use this fabric for the Shop Hop. I have 4 pattterns ready to go. The owner Kathy made one wall hanging sample and a tablerunner sample and I made one tablerunner sample and am working on a wall hanging.
So this is the first tablerunner I have ever made! I am a miniaturist and rarely work on anything larger than 18" x 18" so this was a stretch for me! LOL
She has the largest accuquilt cutter and cut all the borders so I didn't add the Iowa Border to this. I did lay the top on the Iowa fabric so I could get the look of hte border. We are only doing the tops as that is what the kits are.

This is the Iowa Fabric they came up with. It is directional and not that easy to use. I debated about fussy cutting but with all we wanted to do it took too much time. I may see about playing with some Dresden Kaleidoscopes with it later on.

thanks everyone. I always wanted to do a tablerunner but didn't have the courage. so this pushed me into actually making one.
The colors I pulled out of the fabric. We have to use Kona solids which is another thing I don't do usually.
