Wonky Log Cabin Table Topper

It's done, it's done, it's done!  There were some times when I hated it... it's a color thing... but now I really like it.  I'm hoping the friend I made it for likes it too.  These are her favorite colors.  I have one more table runner to make tomorrow for a bridal shower on Saturday.  I got the binding all sewn on Reagan's quilt.  I'll finish that off tonight while I watch the last two episodes of season 2 of 24.
 

 Get ready for some pretty slick accidental matching up :)

WIP Wednesday

Freshly Pieced: WIP Wednesday: Out of Here

I am just new at this, so it may take me until next week to have this down ;)
Today, along with getting the binding started on Reagan's quilt, I am making a table topper for my friends birthday tomorrow.  Her table is square and she likes red and navy so I am making a LARGE wonky log cabin block.  The colors are much more mute than they look in these pics.  None of the fabrics are close to primary colors.

I just had to post this picture.  The zig zag quilt looked so pretty after I washed it and the sun shown on it :)

All sewn up and waiting for me to hand stitch the binding.  That is one of my FAVORITE parts of quilt making :)

Table Runner #2

I got home from my friends birthday party last night and just had to make me one too.  I didn't have anymore of the yellow fabric so I decided to cut into my Little Apples stash.  It was a bit scary, but I am SO happy with how it turned out.  I wasn't sure what to do for the binding but after much deliberation and an opinion here and there from the peanut gallery, I decided on this Half Moon Aqua Medallions print.  I fussy cut at bit here and there.  The boys love the little hedgehog, turtle and squirrel in the center of the blocks.
I still have a ton of Little Apples left.  I think I need another bag :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heat Resistant Table Runner

It's my bff's birthday today and I just had to make her something special.  I thought the heat resistant table runner that I saw last week HERE at (adayinthelifeofamissionarywife.blogspot.com) would be PERFECT!  I spent an hour locating the yellow border fabric.  I knew it was somewhere, but where?  I just have to say that I LOVE THIS TABLE RUNNER!  It's so cute!  Since it was for my friend, I had to take it over to another friend to show :)  I used the heat resistant batting from Walmart.  I am going to make one for myself TOMORROW!!  I've got a few leftover Little Apples jelly roll that will work PERFECTLY!! :)  My son wanted to know what it spelled out in the blocks. I hadn't realized how much they look like letters :)
