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.

Great fabric choices, lovely table runner!

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

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!

Beautiful Christmas runner.

Great use of miscut blocks. I have a stack of many messed up blocks. I might be able to make a few quilts or table runners. I've never made table runners but you've inspired me!!!

Very pretty.

It's beautiful. It's nice that you could make something from your miscut pieces.

That turned out very nice. You really made a beautiful table runner out of miscut pieces.

It looks awesome

What a beautiful Table runner :)

Love your runner!

A real life brightener!

Nice job - out of mistakes come some good ideas

I like it very much; your colors are so crisp.

So cute! I love the colors.

Lovely runner!

That is really pretty

Very nice....

Well, looked like you made a wonderful "mistake."

Thanks folks. I do love the colors. The Christmas quilt the squares were originally destined for is actually a scrappy kit with probably 40+ separate fabrics Ina wonderful combo of traditional Christmas fabrics, batiks, and other coordinating fabrics. It is wonderful, and I intend on finishing it before next Christmas. It is the most complex quilt I have ever done, so I have a ways to go.
