I fell in love with this runner when I saw it on Heather Mulder Peterson's blog and bought a kit. I've never used a 60' ruler nor made a hexagon but I thought I would give it a try. I'm happy to say that I did but I'm not going to try again any time soon!
So, a few of my hexagons are wonky and don't line up all the way but you know what? I'm not going to stress! I've asked Sharon to see if she had time to quilt it and I figured with all the quilting, it will disguise all the little issues.
Wanna see it?
And here's a wider shot of my table so that you can see how big this thing is.
Well, Amelia is home from school today. She's not feeling well and finally decided to take a nap. Hopefully that will settle her tummy. :(
Now that is is done, I will work some more on Amelia's quilt and finish my Charm Party Tote that I started last Spring. It feels good to have one project out of my WIP basket!
That's all for now.
Enjoy your day!

Oh it's beautiful!! You really did a great job on it! :0)
ReplyDeletelooks awesome to me :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice and looks great in the picture! I agree, quilting and good wash & dry cover over a multitude of little sewing imperfections. I'm sure it will turn out great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the table runner, it looks great! I know what you mean about it feeling good to finish a WIP. I like your new motto and might adopt that myself.
ReplyDeleteHope Amelia feels better soon.
Sorry to hear that the table runner was such a challenge! But in the end you have a beautiful accent on your table! It looks beautiful to me!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've been doing english paper pieced hexagons & really love it. Feel better Amelia!
ReplyDeleteomg I love it...I adore the flowers in the middle...and when Sharon works her magic it will be to die for!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoooh it's gorgeous, I just love it! And I can't see any problems with things meeting up etc so therefore they do not exist ;)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that just fit perfectly on your table! I think it looks great and I just love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteReally nice Jen, I am very impressed! You did a great job, sounds like a pain in the you-know-what though. I love how quilting can hide little problem areas (although I don't see them on your quilt). Nice work!!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job on the runner Jen!! I love that one too. And Punkie's new photo on your header is precious! She's growing up too fast though.
ReplyDeleteJen, it's beautiful! You did such a good job. Love it ♥
ReplyDeleteHope Amelia feels better, poor little tummy.
