Default New quilt

I saw a little tablerunner I really liked, forget where, but it was while I was
cruising the Net the other night looking for Bible blocks and flowers...anyway,
it was so charming and I had a bunch of the squares already cut in my scrap
pile - so I thought, why not? I sat down and started making it. I had to
figure out the whole thing, and math is not my strong point! Had to cut the
side triangles down 3 times before I got it right, and then had to assemble it
in straight lines, which took me a while to figure out.

The pictures are in my WEBSHOTS sig below, and it is in the album titles MORE
QUILTS.

Nice job Merry! I love it. Where's mine? lol I've been wanting to make a few
of these and this one is lovely. I may have to try this tomorrow, IF I get
that batty machine working again.

Shelly,

The little squares are 3 inches, the big square is 5 1/2 inches, and the
triangle is cut to 8 1/2 inches ( I THINK). I had to cut it down 3 times and I
think it was 8 1/2 inches.

Back and batting were leftovers from another quilt.

I put it together in about 4 hours.

Merry

That's really beautiful. It's very simple and elegant, and the colours
are so cool and calm.

Thanks for this! It's lovely and looks so good with your pretty bowl on it.
It's very inspiring to see the smaller projects.

The kitchen/dining room pass-thru is indeed a good place. Nice addition
there. Dancing in the moonlight for ya, Merry!
