I made these from one charm pack of Amy Butler prints. All I need is binding, and I've got a finish!
I can't decide which is my favorite of these two? I quilted a real fun pattern in the center prints, but it doesn't show up well at all. It's from Angela Walters' new book "Shape by Shape - Free Motion Quilting With Angela Walters" and is called Swirl Chain. It works in well with the outer swirls.
Once I get the binding on, I'll try to get a better photo from the backside.
The second runner had me stumped as to the quilting, so I just did some stippling. Don't think I was feeling all that well that day, so I scribbled. Fun, fun!
So, with my Day Job taking most of my time this month, getting the bindings on these two darlings will please me greatly! Thanks again to Melissa and Shanna for hosting A Lovely Year of Finishes. I see that it is inspiring many of us to just "Get 'er Done!" especially when time is scarce.
Be sure to join the fun and link up your September Goal for ALYOF. See you on the flip side!
Quilting with a smile,

ReplyDeleteSo close- they're really lovely. Nice way to incorporate charm packs. I buy them and rarely use them.
