What a nice way to start my sewing year...starting AND finishing a table runner and set of coasters for my son to give as part of a wedding gift package. I even broke into my small pile of Flea Market Fancy 6 inch squares for this project. Now, that's a party.
I found this backing at my LQS. Lovely enough to make the backside viewable!
And I had to use a few more of those precious squares to make coasters.
Linking up with crazy mom quilts. Have a wonderful weekend!
PS I love working on these small projects...always something new to learn and opportunities to practice quilting. But I really must get brave now and go back to finishing some quilts!
Congrats on your first finish for the year. I love the colors on it!
ReplyDeleteI'm also working on table runners. Perfect size to see progress without a long commitment!
Keep it up!

Beautiful project! Love the pretty colors and design too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty table runner and love those little coasters--di you use a binding on them? I always have a problem binding smaller items...Julierose
ReplyDeleteI did not use a binding on the coasters...sewed the right sides together, leaving an opening to invert, inverted and stitched close to the edge. I agree with you on binding smaller items!
DeleteThis is really pretty! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely! I really like the texture the straight line quilting adds.
