red, white and blue tablerunner
 

I don't post often but read the board every day and wanted to share the tablerunner I made for my DDIL. The quilting is minimal stitch-in-the-ditch and done on my home machine. (I'm too cowardly to try free motion but maybe someday.) It's going in the mail on Monday and hope it reaches California before the 4th!

Very nice, I am sure she will honor it.

Very patriotic! I love that border fabric! Kudos!

Great job! She will love it. With the beautiful fabrics, it does not need much quilting.

So patriotic, very nice!

Very nice .......

It's BEAUTIFUL!!! :) I'm sure she will LOVE it!

i just love it! :)

Lovely runner! Nicely done! :)

It's beautiful. Your fabric choices seem to just say "July 4th Fireworks"! Nice job!

That is beautiful. I love it and she is sure to treasure it.

Very pretty and I love your border fabric. Stunning and you can have it out from Memorial Day to Labor Day!!!

Very beautiful table runner.

Beautiful!!!

Thank you, fellow quilters, for that nice pat on the back. That felt good :)

How gorgeous!! I am sure your DDIL will love this!

Beautiful patriotic table runner!!

Very pretty--nice job!!

Very festive! Sometimes less is best, it looks great!

That's a delightful quilt! I like the dark blue fabric in the middle of the stars. I think it is more interesting than one with regularly spaced stars. She is going to love it!

That is just beautiful! I love, love, love that border fabric & know your (lucky) DIL will love this little gem!

Wow, what a beautiful runner!!!

You did a great job. I'm sure she will love it!

It looks sharp. What I noticed is your wonderful variation of print size. I think that is one of the keys to why this looks so exceptionally good. While I am in teacher mode, (had a class today), you construction looks flawless. It all looks so straight, so square.

Do try FMQ. You can hide your first steps on a very fussy cloth. Practice on small left over pieces of batting and fabric that you don't like. I think cotton batting is the easiest to work with for a beginner. My first feathers I hid in a patch where they wouldn't show. Now I look at them and think they looked OK even pretty good. But I remember it being so scary even though I knew they wouldn't show up. I have a lot of fun with free motion and I wish that for everyone.

Looks very American.

That is beautiful and so very American! Thanks for posting.

Very pretty! I love the border fabric too.

Just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing, old Navy gal here, married to old Navy guy, so I am a big fan of red, white and blue
Have a Blessed day
