Thanks! I love the border fabric, too. I actually posted pics few pages back when I was planning the runner, the other main fabric I was debating is also autumn leaves. It is a really pretty one, too.. my swap partner liked both, the other one lil more. But as I kept starting the runner, making a few blocks, changing my mind (always..sigh), I realized the other fabric has a larger scale print that would've been lost when used in a border.. so I went with this one..finally!! Lol.. now if I can settle on thread color and quilting design. I am my own worst enemy on those things.. I seem to fret and fret, try one, take it out, repeat, etc..before I finally get it done. I know they make meds for this "condition", but they don't work! . I am going to send my swap partner some of the other fabric since it was her favorite one. I teased and said she could make something with it and send it back to me! Now that's the spirit of giving, eh??..haha
Take care,

Well Dustymomma, I'm on final approach! Got it all together, finally! I've got about 1/2 hours worth of work on it & have it finished. I got the show quilts binding on, took it off & replaced it with a wider one. What a pain!! But, she's done except the hanging sleeve. Will post pics soon. But, will be able to ship your runner Friday, for sure!!

I wish I had a sneak peek but I took a pic of the whole darned thing and well.. that isn't really a peek is it? promise to post if she can't post pictures. I am off for coffee and sewing. or napping not sure which. the cat decided 4 am was a good time for me to get up. argh!

Jaba,
Wow!!! Just opened my package! A wonderful table runner was found!!! Amazingly I have some of the leaf fabric that is in the runner so I will be making some placemats too! Thank you so much for such a beautiful runner. And it is the perfect size! Yours will be in the mail soon. Did you take a photo or do you want me to post one? I need to press it first just a few wrinkles to get pressed out.
Again, thank you! You did a marvelous job on it! Hope I do as well on yours!

Gee, I was so happy with the table runner that I forgot to even mention the pair of wonderful pot holders that was in the package too! I love them. I don't crochet or knit so, silly question, are they knitted or crocheted??? Anyway they are beautiful. Love the colors!!!!
Thanks again!!!!

Here is an updated sneak peek of runner, which also may help with my question of what color of thread would you use to quilt it? And also do you quilt over applique, or around it? Echo quilting or what??

I need to give it a final pressing before layering it for quilting..those are creases from matching the border up, not seams...

Dustymomma, I finally got it together! Your runner is ready for the mailbox! Got the show quilt finished & you can see it in the picture section. I just posted it with it's matching vest just a little while ago. I sure hope you like your double-sided runner! I had lots of fun making it & I hope you like it too!!

Plans for the evening were cancelled and I was so excited to work on my runner. Something just didn't look right, figured it out and after ripping and resewing I am just about back to where I was last night :-)
