| Couple weeks ago dear hubby came home with Bejewelled runner pattern by Karen Montgomery and a strip set to complete it. |
 |
| Back of runner showing quilting. Started with the idea of following the seams, but I'm just not too good at that! As it turned out, just love the sort of haphazard way the designs worked on the triangles and the sort of crazy quilting on the black. |

| All pieces done in strips. As it turns out I misunderstood the way to press the seams. It's diagrammed on the pattern, but will pay more attention next time!. Because of how it's sewn, you can't change the direction after compiling each strip--unless you pick it all out (NOT happening) It made for thick seams. DD and DGD picked out 20 lovely batiks from my stash for me to make one for their home. Lovely colors and anxious to see it come together. The pattern shows batiks in purples and greens, but any colors would be nice. It's 60 degree triangles out of twenty 2 1/2 inch strips. I think any combination of colors and fabrics would work out well--maybe not too large designs, but who knows? |
