    Just Jan: Love how your toppers turned out. The one with the black/grey combo is really neat, and of course the RWB is a knockout! Loved how you arranged the fabrics in that one.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]548366[/ATTACH]Here is my finished runner. Decided to make it three blocks long due to my table size. I did minimal quilting on it, just enough to hold it together, so as not to crush the dimensional parts. For the outer edge, I used a 1 1/2" strip of the inspirational print and layered batting, top and backing, sewed all around and turned inside out. I like that finish when I don't want to do a binding! Then I thought I might keep it for a gift and make a hot mat out of the last block and some napkins out of the fruit print--even some placemats if I have enough fabric. We'll see...

    So now, I'm ready for the next mystery, with a finish on this one!

    Very nice QltrSue.

    I have all my center blocks together. I am hoping to finish it up on Sunday. Hosting a wedding for a friend on our property tomorrow so will not be getting any sewing done tomorrow.

    I am always amazed how wonderfully different this pattern makes up in a variety of fabrics. Just Jan and QuiltrSue... your table toppers are great. Sue, I love the print you chose for the binding.

    QltrSue - Love everything about it, the colors, the layout, and that beautiful fruit fabric binding. Did you use it for the back too? Great job.

    I finished my runner and posted it to the runner swap. I bet everyone there was wondering why it wasn't in the red,white and blue theme colors.....lol. Anyway here it is. I made it to go with the quilt and my room colors. The pictures as usual are off some. such as the walls are painted a blue not the grey in the pictures. I love my runner and it looks really pretty in there. Really enjoyed this one Judy. Thanks so much.
