Design Wall Monday - 4/12/10

Last week I swore I was only going to start sandwiching and quilting table runners - I swear! I started by trimming the batting to the right size for each of the tops I have done, finding fabric to piece into backs, used 505 spray to sandwich some of them and tossed them in a pile. Too bad this picture doesn't show more than the top three...

However, after viewing a cool design somewhere in the blogosphere I discovered I actually had a runner pattern made in a similar way that I could use as a test. I find this charm pack a little blah with this background fabric but it's similar to a runner several friends were fighting over last year. These are charm squares, trimmed to 4 inches, with 2.5 inch squares sewn onto opposite corners. The great part is that I have 4 or 5 batik charm packs at home that I picked up in NC. I probably won't trim them down and they should make a beautiful quilt!
And I even double sewed the seems so that I can save the half square triangles...
