It measures 40 by 16 inches. It was machine pieced and a flannel was used for the batting. That made the runner more flat. I backed it with linen. The tutorial for the machine quilting of the hexagons is on my side bar if you are interested.
I quilted it in DMC perle cotton with a stab stitch. The stitches came out nicer on the back than if I quilted it normally but it was frustrating. Sometimes they came out pretty and other times they were irregular. I'll stick with a hoop and regular quilting next time. While the Anna Maria Horner fabrics of the Good Folks line are bright, I thought it was odd that the back looks like Easter!
I made some coasters to use on a side table.
I am going to hang out under a quilt and get over this bug I have. Visit you all tonight.
Let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you. Make sure to visit Amy's Sew and Tell this week and be inspired.
Love your table runner. :)

ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and I just love the colors! I haven't tried making hexes yet, but I just might have to try starting them w/ those coasters you made. I love those!
