Bookcase Runner Requested by Hubby
 
1 Attachment(s)
My husband requested that I make a runner for the top of the bookcase that he put by my piano. He NEVER asks me to make anything, so I was so glad that he liked what I came up with!

Pretty perfect!

Very pretty, now your piano bench is jealous!
I saw a magazine with Christmas quilt decorating ideas and they put a small square quilt diagonally on the bench. I was going to make one this year, but haven't gotten around to it...

Your husband needs to have a talk with mine. He asked for another double wedding ring! Table runners are faster! lol

Bubbie 11-30-2014 06:57 AM

Very nice. It fits so well, it looks like you painted it on. You did such a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing.

I love your runner! I'm going to copy it immediately for a seasonal runner to go over my white tablecloth! Very nice.

joyful1 11-30-2014 08:27 PM

Looks great!

sewellie 11-30-2014 08:31 PM

How did you attach it? With glue or what?? Thanks!

mea12 11-30-2014 08:44 PM

I shudder to think what sort of math it took to have it fit so perfectly with all the squares!! Very pretty too!

PenniF 11-30-2014 11:22 PM

Perfect in EVERY way. I bet he was so pleased.

It isn't attached. I just laid the runner on the bookcase. The bookcase was my Grandmother's, so I don't really want to use glue or Velcro.

Ha! The math grinch that sat on my shoulder while I tried to figure out the math had a field da, because math is NOT my strong suit! I finally resorted to graph paper and got real lucky. This is the first project that I have designed, no written pattern, so it was a very pleasant surprise to have it work out fairly well. Hubby is a machinist and a whiz at math, and got a good laugh at how I went about determining what size to make my squares.
