WIP: Allie's Quilt

This past week I was able to finish my VALENTINE/St. Patrick table runner, as well as begin 2 more of them.


I also finished making my arrows for a powwow quilt I am making for my neice Alli.  I make a quilt for each of my nieces and nephews for their high school graduation and this is her year!

For this quilt I selected AdornIt's fabric and kind of used the Pow Wow quilt pattern by cluck cluck sew.  I did alter the pattern for the purpose of not wasting so much fabric and ease.  Note: I used Quilt in a days flying geese ruler for that purpose.  It works great!


 The quilt will be 9 blocks by 13 blocks and si I needed a total of 117 arrow blocks, which I finished making last night. I also laid them out on the floor to get the pattern look I preferred.  There will be some of that Kona cotton Stone fabric between each row.


And today I only had a few minutes, but I was able to start sewing these crazy rows together.  I say chain stitching is the only was to go!

WIP

I am a spur of the moment type of person!  Today I decided, rather sporadically to make a Valentine's table runner with some Moda Table for Two fabric I've had for the last year.  When I started creating the pattern, I decided to make this a duo holiday runner.  At 5 pm this afternoon I was at the fabric store and now at 9:30 I have this made and am relaxing with my iPhone.

Here is a few steps:

This is the St Patrick's side, it will need a 1 1/2" border all the way around it.  I'm still not sure what color to use.


And my finished Valentine table runner top.  Hopefully I will finish this and have it quilted tomorrow morning!



Here is my finished project


I did link this up with OMG (one month goal) finished with some of my stash.
