Christmas table runner
 

I was working on a Christmas quilt and miscue a few dozen half square triangles :(. After buying some more fabric, I put the miscut pieces aside while I continued with the quilt (which still isn't done BTW). I finally decided to make a table runner with them, and here is the result. I did limited quilting, just some stitch in the ditch for the colored triangles using red SoFine thread with silver metallic Yenmet thread in thenhalf-circles and the piano key border. Too bad the pictures don't show the shiny metallic thead better - it is very sparkly! It did take a bit of fiddling to get the tension correct on my Sweet 16 with the metallic thread, but it was worth it.

That is really pretty

Great fabric choices, lovely table runner!

You did a great job with your miscuts. Love the runner.

That is really pretty!

Very pretty and it will match you quilt when completed too. :)

Very pretty!

Very nice. A great way to save the day and not feel as if you have wasted a bunch of fabric.

Great table runner.

Your runner is so pretty. An early finish for Christmas 2015!
