This project was started in a 2005 workshop with Judith Larzelere. At that time it was unusual to work in all solids, so I took inspiration from Amish quilts and chose an Amish palette. The workshop featured Judith's strip piecing technique using Fibonacci proportions and sew-and-flip construction on a prepared backing. I ended up with this piece which measures about 11" x 38". I also ended up with a half yard of prepared (layered and basted) backing and a lot of fabric pieced into the first step but not cut into the narrow strips yet.
I decided to just bind the finished portion as a table runner. Voila, a finish!
This table runner and the leftover parts need a new home so I'll put it into the orphan adoption event my guild is having later this year. I want it gone!
Binding is just a little finish, but at least it's a start toward dealing with my UFOs. One down, many more to go...
Linking up with Friday Finish at Crazy Mom Quilts and Whoop Whoop Friday at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
This is beautiful. I really like all the colours in your runner and the brilliant orange focus section.
ReplyDeleteWow I really like your runner!
ReplyDeleteA finish is a finish! I like the transition of colors, and I hope it will be perfect for someone in your guild.
ReplyDeleteThis makes a great table runner. Great way to finish up a UFO.
ReplyDeleteJan, it's stunning!! I found Darlene's UFO from this workshop when cleaning out her sewing room.....it's funny how some projects languish. I loved mine and got it finished pretty quickly but I know Darlene wasn't happy with the way her fabric choices were turning out. Awesome job knocking this one out :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table runner! Congrats on getting one UFO off the list.
ReplyDeleteLove your colors on this! Great pattern, I'm always telling the kids at school that you need a lot of math to do quilts, this is a great example!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely runner. It inspires me to make a similar one!
