I started quilting last winter and for some reason I've been afraid to try SID. I decided that a small project like this table runner (also a 1st) would be a good place to learn. I went slow & for the most part stayed in the ditch!! The next table runner that I do in this pattern I don't think I'll do the FMQ in the center square...I just don't think it looks right.

That is lovely, the pattern of the runner is fab and I am inclined to contradict you, I love the FMQ in the centre block it gives it an added dimension.

Great job! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think it turned out great!

Nice job!! Yes, I think it looks GREAT in the center.

Looks good to me! I like the FMQ, too. Maybe you'd like it better with a print or darker color in the center? I've been a topper for years and now really want to try FMQ....you're already ahead of me! WTG!

I love that runner.. I have one started.

Love the FMQ!

Ditto, I love the FMQ in the center square!

You did a great job!

I agree! Maybe you could use a variegated thread next time? I think it looks great.
