4th of July Table Runner Finito!


I made this tpp at one of the Peteeneet quilt show classes on Saturday taught by the AMAZING Haley DeHart.  It was made with a charm pack and a very simple, but darling, pattern, "Let Freedom Ring," by Bloom Creek.  I backed it with some navy fabric with stars from my stash.  I used the heat resistant batting for fun ;D  My boys like to call it "fire proof" :p





  
I did a stars and loops pattern for the fmq
 


I am sending this off to my sil today for her birthday last week.  I hope she likes it.  I'm not a big Americana fan, but I am really happy with how this turned out :)

  1. I'm not a big Americana fan either, but that is really nice. I love the stars, and the stars and swirls in the quilting are great too.

  4. Scrappy and summery. :) The nice thing about making things for others is that it sometimes gets us out of our usual styles. I just finished a table runner for MY sis-in-law's b-day that did the same thing for me!

  5. There's something quite textile arty about this rather than quilty - it's different and I like that a lot, ChrissieD from P&J's blog hop :)
