I'm about to wrap these tablerunners to present to workmates this morning, but am still amazed how different the same patten can look, merely by changing the colourway. I've played with 12"blocks, but that mostly creates positive/negatives of the same shape. It's really noticable on these 2 tablerunners, you wouldn't pick them as being made from the same pattern. I also see where I should have made the 'snake' turn in another direction in order to be more symmetrical. I don't think I wanted that to happen at the time. I'm also pleased that I was able to keep the zig-zag edge that makes them different.
I'm still a beginning patchworker, so please excuse my enthusiasm and awe.

Verrry nice! You are absolutely right, they do look totally different. Nice use of color and placement.

I love enthusiasm & awe. Both are beautiful & you can be very proud of your work. Your workmates will be thrilled.

Great runners! I love that pattern, Good work!

Gracious, it surely does not look like the same pattern, however, both are darling. Thanks so much for showing and sharing.

Merry Christmas

Both are really pretty-but I LOVE the colors of the first one!

awesome!!

where did you get the pattern for these? please send an address.

Great job!! One would never know that they are the same pattern

The first one is my favorite, I love the colors but both are beautiful. What pattern did you use.

Interesting patterns. Lovely work. Nothing wrong with being awed by your handiwork.

Thank you everybody.

There is no commercial pattern.
I made it up using graph paper and pencils.
I don't know of an easy way to describe the placement of each piece to achieve the colourway, otherwise I'd offer a tutorial.
I just sandwiched the backing/batting/top, carefully marking where to turn for the zig-zags, stitched, trimmed and snipped, then turned the right way around, pressed and topstitched around the edge. It's not perfect, but they were gifts from the heart, not competition entries.
I do appreciate all your kind comments.

It is amazing how different they both look. Very nice.

Amazing how they do look different. Both very nice.

We need all the enthusiasm and awe we can muster to keep our engines fired up. Great job and love the colours.

I'm amazed that you are a new quilter and had the confidence to come up with your own design. Both are really nice. I'm impressed. Keep up the good work!
