A spring table runner. Pointed ends are copied and pasted from an on-point medallion quilt from the EQ6 Layout Library/Basics by Style. You can copy and paste blocks, such as the triangle blocks used as a virtual end border here, between Custom Set quilts in the same project file!

I wanted to use some transparency coloring with this floral applique block and pieced setting blocks. The scalloped border came from Quick Quilt Projects>Tablerunners in EQ6.

Used layout from the Layout Library . Tablerunners - 9" Blocks - 3 Total - (approx.) 17" x 43"
Added one more block and added a mitered border.

Flower block was hand-drawn.

Forget-me-nots have seeded themselves all over my garden They are delightful. I will set a bouquet of them in the middle of this table runner. This is also the symbol in support of Alzheimer disease research in Canada.

One of my favorite tools is the Wreath maker, so I designed two floral wreaths for this challenge.

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The flower and leaf used in this design I originally drew in Patti Anderson's QU Applique Class. Developing the design gave me a chance to play with arranging them. The butterfly I drew specifically for this challenge. This was a wonderful chance to further develop my Applique drawing skills and I plan on making this table runner.

I love applique and this challenge has given me a chance to practice some of what I learned in Patti Anderson's QU Applique Design Class as well as explore some of EQ's table runner designs.

Table runner designed especially for you

This is a very simple, easy to do tablerunner. No big templates or intricate placement, just quick-to-do strip piecing and easy applique. What could be simpler?

For some reason, I like it, too.

Measures about 20" x 71"

Sunnyside, Washington

This was great fun to draw.

Fabrics used are Fairy Frost by Michael Miller Fabrics LLC for the base and Tutti Fruitti by Kathy Hall for the flower.

Measures about 16" x 38"

I had made a Rose of Sharon block for the challenge previously so I decided to use that block in my runner. I set the setting triangles on Layer 2 and rotated and clipped as necessary. This would be a very labour intensive runner to actually make. I wanted to eliminate the block outlines but couldn't figure out how.

April is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival with many field of vibrant tulips and tourist activities.

This reminds me that Spring is almost here. I think this would be really pretty in a bedroom.

I really like the scrappy look of this and the soft 1930's feel of the colours.

Spring is on the way when the snowdrops arrive - a little late this year.

Here is a happy little table runner sure to bring spring to the table (as well as use up some of your yellow and cream scraps!)

This was fun to draw, but it sure is a LOT of little half square triangles to piece! The happy daffodils are based on a design from one of my Dover royalty free design books While I'd like to see this on my dining room table, I better start now, to get all this piecing done before next spring. The appliqué, for me will be a fun project to brighten the dreary days this winter. <VBG>

Thanks for another wonderful challenge!

Haymarket, VA.

This little design is based on some party napkins I got last spring and drew the posythen. These guys werre sitting in my library just waiting to go into a project somewhere. I didn't know what I wanted to do with them but they were just too cute not to do something . Now, I can see this done with some wool applique and a little embroidery.

What a fun challenge for springtime!
