With leftover fabrics from the Late Bloomers quilt last month, I made 8 hourglass blocks. Sewing them together got me a good size runner. It's 16" x 32". I've free motion stitched for about 1 hour on this runner, 10 or 15 minutes at a time. It's done now and its bound with scrap fabric. It's more of an improv quilting practice. In my head, I say its Perfectly Imperfect. It's been my style for a while now. It's very forgiving. What started out to be straight lines are slightly wavy, circles might be a little flat on the sides... but that's all ok. Without a big concern for color or a whole lot of planning, it actually turned out pretty nice. This runner will serve several purposes.
1. A practice free motion piece for me, and now a sample piece to take to a
free motion class that I'm leading tomorrow.
2. It will be a second runner that I said I would put into our little community
show that is happening this Wednesday, Feb 21.
3. It uses up these large triangular scraps, and finally
4. The last thing I need is a runner, so it will be given away as a
fun gift to somebody.
The practical side of me is smiling as I finish up this project.

Simple but so so cute!! Love it!
this is just sweet!
Am I going to get to see this in person? I like the spontaneity of the quilting. Looking more closely, that dark burgundy fabric looks like what Helen put out a desperate plea for!
