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.

An unusual runner but beautiful! Good one!

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.
