I can't keep up with all my little creations on here. But I will share this one. So can I like a fabric but not want it in my house. Well not that I don't want it in my house, just not me?? I love this little print by Debbie Mum I got from Joann. It's not me though. So I hope this little project finds a good home.
I used a pattern from Moda Bake Shop. I would love to do one with Robert Kauffman's Metro Market for myself, but the Debbie Mum was on sale for 50% off and I couldn't resist these little cows:O
I modified the table runner, by subtracting one charm from the rows. I didn't want it to be as wide as the original pattern. Also instead of using another row of charms on each end I found the coordinating border panel and used that instead.
I did learn a few things while making this little piece. When pieceing together the back keep in mind what is on the front and how will you quilt it together. I chose to put one row of charms on the back just to jazz it up a bit. I hate the plain muslin, it just looks so sad back there:( I didn't realize that placing it there was going to show off any little mistakes that I made on the straight quilting on the front:O Oh well, it's done and little funky on the corner, but life goes on!
Oh and if you are new to sewing/quilting... I suggest the Moda Bake Shop and all if their pretty fabrics. Even if I don't use the patterns exactly or the exact fabric choices I get tons of ideas.
