Table Runners

This modern runner pieced from the Villa Rosa pattern Merry Trees with modern fabrics from Midwest Textiles measures 17” x 54.” All fabrics and batting are 100% cotton.

The background fabric is cream-colored with mid-century modern red and blue-gray triangles with “dripping lines.” The trees are made from coordinating red and blue-gray modern geometric prints that coordinate with the background print. The tree trunk and bindings are a solid dark gray-brown. And the border is a lovely grey print with modern stars trough out.

To back the runner, a Riley Blake white polka dot on red fabric that makes you think of snowballs.

Delft Tulips Table Runner measures 15 1/2” wide x 42” long. All fabrics in runner are 100% cotton and are only blues and white/ecru in color.

This pieced runner only appears to have curved pieced tulips due to a peeled-back piecing technique similar to that used in a cathedral window quilt. An extra diagonally folded square is pieced into the blocks where a curve is desired. Then the bias folded edge is “peeled back” and stitched down creating a mock pieced curve.

Another unique design feature of this runner is the gracefully curved corners. A bias cut binding, means the edges lay nice and flat. A blue rose border stripe print backs this runner, making it as pretty on the back side as the pieced front side. Background areas are machine stipple quilted.

This bright and colorful traditional tumbling blocks runner takes on a contemporary look due to the fabric choices. It measures a narrow 11” wide x 37” long.

Traditionally, a tumbling blocks quilt consists of three fabrics varying in value from light to dark, This variance in value is what gives the blocks their three dimensional effect. Also, if you look at the quilt long enough, there is an Escher-like effect. The sides of the blocks, or medium (red and green) and dark (black) fabrics, shift when staring at the quilt. The chili pepper fabric (or light fabric) also appears to move up and down.

The runner is backed with the same wavy green fabric as the binding. It is filled with 100% cotton batting and machine quilted following the “stairsteps” of the red, green and black fabrics.
