It is so sweet and pretty and I love it. You have done a great job.
|
Oooh, that is beautiful! No idea for the quilting, though (I'm pretty hopeless at that
|
What a difference a little color does for a room, eh?
Really a cute bed runner. |
Gorgeous!!
|
Love it! It's the perfect touch. (And I love E.T.- how cool is he?)
|
very pretty
|
I love your bed runner! (Pillows too.) I call them "foot warmers" intead of bed runner. I started one for my hubby 7 years ago and finally finished it last year. Just couldn't decide what to do with it. I tend to bind my stuff in whatever the final border is, but I think that I'd bind this one with the pink...I love pink.
Your room looks so soothing. |
I would do a meander or stipple quilting, as that is my favorite. You should be able to avoid hitting or running into the yo yos and buttons. Just jump in with both feet and FMQ, it is fun.
By the way, it is beautiful, love the colors. |
I love it. Nicely done
|
It is great. I think you did a wonderful job on it. If you were to give it to a longarmer you might want to wait and add those buttons after its quilted. (for future ref)
|
That is wonderful!!! How creative! Love it!!
|
Oh yes, it is perfect with the pillow. And it helped immensely to add color and fun

Once this is done, I'm going to just sit awhile on this project so ideas might come to me on the wall hanging and/or head board ideas for the head of the bed. As you can see it's bare. I'll put an old picture up in the meantime. Thanks for any input you have! Karen |
Love it
|
I love your be runner! It's perfect!
|
Nicely done! :thumbup:
|
that is just perfect
|
No don't remove them, that is sooo precious

This is exactly what was needed. It makes all the difference. It's very pretty.
|
How creative! I love how you have used the french roses in this, very effective lay out!
|
That's beautiful! Nice job.
|
Great Idea, Makes the spread pop. best thing is you can change runners seasonally and a lot less expensive and takes up less room. :)
|
Beautifully done and SO creative! Love it.
|
Just adorable! Those flowers are so sweet!
|
Very pretty, I really like your fabrics, so soft and restful. Looks great
|
You did a great job. I really like it.
|
Beautiful, I make them with matching pillows too, just enough to dress up the off white I have on the bed and I can make them seasonal too and it doesnt take a long time. If I have enough fabric I will sometimes make a matching runner for the nightstand.
|
I don't have any quilting suggestions, but I sure do love your bed runner!
|
Perfect! I love the colors too! Great job!
|
Gorgeous!

Great idea! I like it!
|
Looks wonderful
|
It is lovely. I would do stitch-in-the-ditch around each block and square. Simple but elegant.
|
very nice! I want to make one too!

And this is the tute that I used for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOWSp0mTTqE So to answer your question, no I did not have any pattern...but I did find helps to make each block and create my own pattern. Which means you could easily make this or your own similar version without much difficulty. This was the very first time for me to make any of these blocks (and yoyos as well) and yet I was surprised at how easily it all went together once I made each block the first time. Good luck! |
So pretty..lovely.
|
Super cute!
|
What a wonderful job, I would be running a satin stitch around the roses, but of course that is truly just me. Have fun quilting, don't have much practice on that- Yet.
