Working on a new quilt project, I cut 4 key triangle components the wrong way. Oh noooo! Then I wondered what else I could do with my fabric units.

I created two table toppers with alternate color schemes. They are about 27" long.

Then, still in a curious mode, I laid them out end to end. (not sewn together yet). Well, that is interesting!

Don't know exactly what I'll do with this yet, but it was a good distraction while I came to terms with the fact I couldn't continue with the original pattern because of my mistake. Not enough fabric left to start over.

I think I will figure out some way to supplement the sides of the long runner. Any ideas?

That's a great table runner! Call yourself a designer now.

That's a great table runner. You could sell that pattern.

That is super cool!! Great job.

How unusual - now you need to market it, and make enough cash to buy replacement fabric for your original project!

i'd like to see what one triangle looks like because this is just stunning and i'd make one too
