I just made this table runner top today out of a charm pack called Trick or Treat Smell My Feet. I had to reverse the dark and light fabrics because there were way more darks in the pack. It is very scrappy, but I did try to give it a little bit of a sense of balance with color placement. The pattern is called Chicken Feet by This and That. The finished size is 15 3/4 X 26 1/4". (I know I need to square up my corner triangles :-) )
My question to you all is---how should I quilt this?? And what color thread would you use to quilt it?? I want to get in finished quickly so I can get it on the table and go on to the next project. |
Love it. And the colors. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
looks great marcia
|
That is really cute Marcia!!!! Love it!!! No ideas on the quilting, thats why I always ask everybody else too :D !!!!
|
Scrappy and fun is what that is.. Other than boring in the ditch...I don't know about the quilting design..can't help you there.
|
I'm kinda liking the trend towards the big stitch in dark thicker thread lately that I've seen in some shops locally. It's a larger than usual hand stitch, like a utility stitch. Very charming and rustic.
|
Very cute! If you're in a hurry, I think I'd just machine stitch in the ditch. The fabrics are your real star on this project, not the quilting. And you may want to wash it frequently, so machine quilting, I would think, would be your best bet.
|
Love it, even if its feet need to be smelled.
|
Love fall colors and your placement is wonderful.
|
Very pretty Marcia....how about a cross hatch....meandering or justdo something down the middle of the squares.... Love those colors and your choice of placement...
|
Very nice and i can't wait to see how you have quilted it.
|
I love the scrappiness of your runner. Great job!
|
Gorgeous!! The colors are awesome! :) I would quilt it with cross hatching. I just Love it! :)
|
Looks like it was fun and easy to make. Good job!
|
I love it AND the colors...... Can't help on the quilting part girl, but I'm sure whatever you do will be just perfect..... :D
|
Well, how about feet since that's in the name? Maybe a row of little feet and another of little noses? You could draw the pattern on your tablerunner and then free motion.
Just a thought. |
Very nice, I love the colors you used.
|
Love it! And the colors....about the quilting I wouldn't know what to tell anyone, but I was interested to see what everyone else thought....So, I can't wait to see it finished.....
|
That would make an awesome quilt!! Your's looks fabulous!
|
i would just meander, that way the "puffiness" is uniform and I would use a verigated thread in the halloween colors if you can find it!

Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions. I am still thinking about the quilting. I am going to the quilt shop tomorrow to buy a black to use for the binding. I already bought backing fabric and was originally going to use it for binding too, but have now changed my mind--isn't that a girl's perogative? :-) Besides, it is a great excuse to go back to the quilt shop!!
