Chevron Table Runner

Chevron Table Runner

Chevron Table RunnerAnother finish!  Here’s a fun and fast project that I assembled at last month’s retreat and slipped into my quilting rotation this month.  For three years we’ve been staying at a great bed and breakfast in Decorah, Iowa while our daughter attends Luther College.  Now that our daughter is ready to graduate, I wanted to make a gift for our hostess.  We visited Decorah this week and I was excited to give her this table runner gift.Chevron Table Runner pattern

The pattern recommends print in the chevron but I was using fabric from my stash and I liked the print on the outside.  This would be a great class project because you can sew the top together in about an hour.

I’m linking with A Stitch in Time for a May finish!

May Finishes

Check out other May finishes here.  My great granny square quilt is almost finished, too!  I need to find some TV time to finish hand sewing the binding!

Thanks!  Linda 🙂

Purple and Grey Chevron Quilt

Purple and Grey Chevron Quilt

Modern Quilting

I love it when a quilt lets me play!  For Mary’s Chevron quilt, each white zig-zag is quilted with a different motif.  The double zig-zag rows are quilted with a free-hand Swirl and Curl.  My camera didn’t like purple and thankfully, it wasn’t raining so I could take an outside picture.

Chevron quilt back

The pieced back is busy fabric except the solid grey, which lets the quilting pop!  I love it!

The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select and the thread is Superior So Fine#50.  Quilter’s Dream Poly is not your grandmother’s polyester batting!  It quilts just like a fine cotton batting.  It’s lightweight and easy care – machine wash and dry – with little to no shrinkage.  This has become my customers go to batting for predominantly white quilts, baby quilts and large quilts to reduce weight.

Thanks!  🙂 Linda
