aka - the green table runner! A week ago, it was sitting on a pile of
projects (4 other table runners and a set of 6 placemats) - then my
sister told me that her neighbour was hoping to give the green table
runner to her daughter for a birthday gift - this weekend! I had to
make a quick decision about the backing fabric and then pull together
more ideas for quilting the segments. Two long sessions for the
quilting and then the trimming and binding was done late last night -
this morning I sat for 4hours hand sewing the binding (no finger boo-
boo's so nonthimble not necessary yet) - tomorrow, our friend can take
delivery of the runner - and wrap it up. Wonder what the b'day cake
will be like? Hope, she saves me a piece. jennellh

The 'secret' starts with making a strata of 1.5" strips - they don't
have to match for a different finished effect but I like to blend them
together in some way. After the strip sets are sewn together and
pressed, I cut out the templates lining up seam lines with the centre
marks and then also cut out coordinating fabrics using the same
templates - then I "play" at the sewing machine and make a pile of
blocks using a variety of pieces. After all the sewing, the design
wall is the next playground for a while. The lighting differs because
some of the photos used the flash and when I changed the angle to pick
up the side window light, the flash didn't engage. I was trying to
photograph from the side to show the dimension of the quilting which
was washed out with a 'full frontal' view...jennellh

Jenn,
here i come with another inane question.
how ever do you go about choosing such gorgeous fabrics.
they all seem so different yet they all go together in this design so
beautifully.
i spent ages drooling over #16 and #17, same place on the quilt but
different angle pix.
the lighting was a wee bit different as well.
so what is the secret?
