    Default More treasure from trash
    I received a pile of fabric sample books from a fellow Freecycle member. Here's the newest thing I made with the fabrics. It's a table runner. The center square is from a fabric sample and most of the fabric in the same color is also from that set of fabric samples. The other bits are either from my scrap pile or a great collection of small pieces that a generous QB member sent to me.

    I started with the center and worked my way out - mostly symmetrically. It's a little wonky but I don't strive for perfection. I'm happy with it!

    Very nicely done! Wonkiness is just a design element.
