Sometimes I think the simplest blocks are the cutest.
And when you have fabric that you're in love with - you hate to see any go to waste! So after making three other projects (literally) out of this new fabric line from Fig Tree Quilts called Honeysweet, I decided to add a fourth to my list!
This is an itty bitty table runner
(for like, a really narrow table - which I don't own - see end of post :).
The whole thing measures 7" x 36" from point to point.
I used 2" squares for my blocks and then used the EZ Flip 'n Set Ruler by Darlene Zimmerman to cut side setting triangles. Then I sewed 2" strips onto the ends.
I used red for the center squares and then made five "X's" (the whole block is really just a 9-Patch) using the rest of the colors from that line. My background fabric is another one that I can't get enough of - Hints of Prints by Darlene Zimmerman for Robert Kaufman.
My back is from a different, previous line from Fig Tree Quilts.
Isn't the quilting pretty?
Kaylene Parry in Lehi, UT. did it for me.
I use her a lot. She always does an amazing job!
And well, after all that - I've decided to give it to my friend. I think she will be able to find a nice spot for it in her home and the pretty prints seem like they will fit in nicely with her decor.
Now, I'm off to make a special delivery! I hope she likes it!
But before I go, I get to officially mark this off my January To-Do list!
Several other projects are "in the works" too! I'm getting lots done and loving the sense of accomplishment I feel when I get to check something off the list! What about you? Are you writing down your intentions for the month? I promise it really helps :)
Happy quilting!

Sure she will be delighted with her beautiful runner!
ReplyDeleteDo you want my address in case she doesn't like it?? haha....it is adorable...love it.
ReplyDeleteJust in case you don't know...it is saying you are a noreply blogger.
What a special gift...such a cute little size
ReplyDeleteYour runner is just beautiful, I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little runner!
ReplyDeleteHi Marjorie,
ReplyDeleteHe he :) Thank you. I'm glad you like the runner.
And yes, I was aware that it says I am a no-reply blogger on the RSS feed. I've looked into the problem before. It seems to just be a glitch on some peoples profiles in the RSS feed and I spent a long time again today trying to figure out how to change it! I know I am not a "no-reply blogger" because my email IS attached to my blogger account and I get responses to comments I leave on other people's blogs. It's just a problem with how my name is showing up on the reading list/RSS feed. Kind of annoying but I don't see a way to change it. Thanks for letting me know though! :)
Thanks for stopping by and happy quilting!
Amber
Thanks Annie! Little is fun, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Leanne, Lesley and Rosa:
Thanks for your sweet words!
Happy quilting ladies!
Take care,
Amber
Another project off you list...but one new one added to mine.
ReplyDeleteYour colourway is delicious!
I agree, simple is lovely! I have 2 Honeysweet charm packs to use, it's so pretty! I love that background fabric, glad you revealed it because I was going to ask. It goes great with the Fig Tree!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I love the pointed ends.
ReplyDeleteLove this runner. The colors and fabrics are beautiful! I really need to get going on my projects, been struggling with making the time.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute :)
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love Fig Tree...
That background fabric was a little different (kind of a yellow/orange) but I really liked it with it. It's fun to mix it up sometimes :)
Happy quilting!
Amber
