I now proceeded to piece my tablerunner...first though I needed to sign my artwork!
Here is the pattern I used for the runner, modified a little to suit my perameters, since this runner is 18X50 and that is too long. But I knew the design would work well with the idea I had....
I cut out the strips I needed in various colors. The Challenge is actually called the Color Box Challenge, and all these great colors from the inspiration fabric work well as strips!
Once the runner is all sewn together, I sandwiched it with batting and a backing of the turquoise fabric.
This is a closeup view of the runner top...there are red triangles on each end, also that you can't see. Just a corner of one is visible in the picture above....
Then I start shadow quilting the bird. This is a view from the back. I am using black thread, and it shows up great against the turquoise. More to come.....
Fantastic! This is so colorful and you are doing such a wonderful job on it. I don't seem to be accomplishing much these days....just started on some Christmas projects.
