A finish and another gift made



I finished this table runner nice and quick.   The binding happened while watching tv the other evening.  It felt good to use up some of my French General hoard.  It is a funny thing that I have such a stack of French General fabrics and yet rarely use it.  I really do think that my fabric tastes have evolved since I first started stock piling it.  I still like it but I don't really see it in a quilt.  At least not for me.  It looks quite nice in a table runner though.

The fabulous thing about table runners is that you get to use up batting scraps!  I have a huge pile of potential table runners!  The other fabulous thing about table runners is how quickly they quilt up.   Love that!

I quilted this simply with some gorgeous Aurifil 40 wt.  It has a beautiful sheen to it and the heavier weight allows the quilting to really sparkle.



Oh!  I ordered some labels awhile ago!  They look quite official!



Linking up with Finish it up Friday at Amanda Jean's.  Off to quilt guild tonight.  So much fun!

  1. It's beautiful -- but, of course, I don't think you can go wrong with French General. I've made one quilt with them so far and am saving some more French General fabrics to make another.
