Please help..picking more fabrics to finish table runner for swap
 
5 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
I am finishing a table runner for a swap here, my swap partner has asked about something to go with her fruit theme plates..the plates also have a light blue color around the rims, so I am considering incorporating a blue in it..but I am having a hard time deciding...ignore the stabilizer showing thru on the blocks, it will go as soon as I get the applique done...also the wrinkles in the fabrics...couldn't see ironing until I know which one I will use..lol..
I also posted pics of a red dot fabric and a yellow blender-y fabric. Also, the grapes are a tad more purple than the pics seem to show...

Thanks for helping!

Love the blue check in the last picture, that's what I would choose. Can't wait to see how it looks when done.

the blue check was my choice, too

I also vote for the blue check used as backing and binding. Nice work on the applique and wonderful choice of fabric for the border. I look forward to seeing the completed project.

blue check!!!

Blue gingham! It pulls out the blue color and ties the whole look together.

CharlotteO 03-06-2013 04:58 PM

They are right, the blue check looks best, IMHO

This is for me and I love what you have done, kif!!!! Your appliques are AWESOME!!! I do like the blue gingham and I really like the yellow blender-y fabric....also like the blue fabric on the right (looking at it)....love the fruity sashing!!! Can't wait to see it completed!!! You really hit it from what I told you!!!

Thank you all for your input! Em, I am glad you are liking it so far...I have to say the blue check was a last minute fabric choice...I was heading out of my fabric room, and it just caught my eye...at first I thought, I don't know...then I put it with the squares, and I liked the combo, too...So, I will have to decide for sure, and keep it a surprise for Em!..Off now to do the applique stitching!
Regards,
Kif
PS I love the table runner you are making for me, too!! This is just a great swap!

Blue check is my vote.

the blue check really caught my eye. I vote for the blue check!

alikat110 03-06-2013 06:17 PM

I dare to be different....I like the blue I. The second picture....it grounds the business of the sashing.

I like the blue check also - it just fits!

bloocar 03-06-2013 08:11 PM

Hands down, the blue gingham. Seems like most everyone agrees. Love your applique blocks, looking forward to seeing it finished.

cindy4857 03-06-2013 09:09 PM

Blue check fabric is my vote. Love your blocks. Every day with be a fun day when she has that on her table.

Seems like the blue gingham really makes everything else pop!

Blue check. I'm with the others.

Nobody said red dotted. I bet it would look nice too.

Love that gingham.

tubsfam 03-07-2013 06:21 PM

Blue is my favorite color and that runner would match my kitchen.But for some crazy reason which I don't understand I'm drawn to the red lol.

Peggy Jeanne 03-07-2013 07:36 PM

I like the check the best!
