I think I mentioned a post or two ago that I was working on a new project for summer decorating. A table runner using a "honeybun" (1 1/2" strips) of Primitive Gatherings patriotic fabrics for 2019. The design has three large blocks utilizing lots of tiny 1 1/2" squares and as I worked on it I hoped it would turn out square. Even when I finished the piecing I wasn't sure, but it quilted out beautifully and when folded in half, all parts lined up!!
The colors are brighter than other Primitive Gatherings patriotic lines that I've used for our living room, so I decided this would probably be a good addition to the dining room table.
The glass star dish of red, white and blue peanut M&Ms is a perfect accompaniment. This year I actually found a pantry-sized bag of the seasonal M&Ms at Safeway and it's been so nice not have to use white ones saved from the Valentine's bag and blue and red ones from a regular bag. ♥
I almost missed this post. I love the runner! I'm not much of a quilter, but I know what joy it is when the end product is square. But then, I know you could make it so if anyone can. A job well done!
