One of the projects that I want to focus on this year is making small projects, such as table runners. To do this, I decided to go through my years old saved collection of downloaded from the internet and magazine patterns. If I don’t care for the pattern anymore, then I am passing it on. If I like it, then I am going to make it, and then pass the pattern on.
Last month, I made the Curved Nine Patch table runner.
This month I am working with a pattern saved from Quiltmaker magazine back in Sept./Oct. 2009. The pattern is called Earth, Wind and Water. (I was able to find one of the off center pineapple block foundation patterns used in this table runner here.)
It is a paper pieced pattern.
I do not like paper piecing. I find the whole process tedious.
Nevertheless…I like the pattern. So I shall make it once, and pass on the pattern to someone else when I am finished.
Four of the blocks have 27 pieces each.
Each!
Here is one:
And here are four:
With the exception of the borders, I have the table runner pieced.
Next time that I share this project, I will have the borders sewn, and the table runner quilted.
Carry on!
