Vintage Chocolate

Pin It
Table runner at Freemotion by the River
Challenge 5 this week was called Print Publications.  Pick a magazine, look at page 28 for inspiration. If it isn't quilting we only have AARP, fishing magazines and Consumer Reports. I picked Consumer Reports and this was page 28.

Straight lines, brown and teal.......so I made this 12 x 26 inch table runner using Moda Windsor Lane. I had a charm pack of 2 1/2 x 5 pieces that I cut into 2 1/2 inch squares. I made 13 rows of 6 squares.

I just did some straight line quilting on it. I never seem to do this very well which is why I prefer free motion quilting. You can see some little pleats.

When I washed it the quilting looks a little better.

I couldn't resist hanging in on the deck rail with the snow spiral in the background.
Since the sun was out I had to take one last picture of my spiral circle or crop circle. Yesterday we had rain all day and it was gone this morning.

Love that fabric line - the blue paisley especially. Nicely done. Do you use a walking foot when you straight line quilt?
