This is the second quilt project I made when I first started quilting. It’s the pattern “Braid Runner”… a quilt-in-place pattern. It’s a table runner that I made for my sister-in-law, the gal that first inspired me to start quilting, and I made a duplicate for my mom too.
It’s a great pattern.
Beautiful! I hope you enjoy seeing MJ's skinny quilt in the Christmas Quilt Show too!

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely table runner. Great colours. What a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteWonderful holiday table topper! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMJ, you did a wonderful job with this table runner. I love all your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for including the no blogger entries. These ladies really should consider blogging if possible. I am really enjoying the show!

Love your table runner. So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty runner! I've never tried the braid before - but after reading your entry I think I will.
ReplyDeleteI love it, too. It has a very rich look from the fabric and braid design. Your sister-in-law and Mom were very lucky to receive their runners.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I love the way it includes so many beautiful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThe braid design really works out well on the table runner. What a great gift. I am sure it is very appreciated. Love Lois
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI found Akiko's whale pattern online last week and also ended up on Karen's salvedge blog --- you'd left a comment about wanting to make the whale and I didn't know if anyone had answered your query. That little guy was featured in the April/May '10 issue of SewNews. You can download a pattern for the individual pieces from here: http://www.sewnews.com/articles/Salvaged_Selvages There's no assembly instructions and you do have to enlarge the pieces significantly to get the whale to the scale of all the pictures. I brought the image into my draw program, upped it appropriately, and made a PDF so I could tile the images for printing. I plan to do patchwork squares instead of salveges -- and a polar fleece belly. *grin*
