Sweetwater Hometown Reversible Table Runner

I've got something fun to share with you today!

Remember those snowball-styled blocks 

for a Jump Ring quilt that

I showed you in this post???

Well...I used eight of the finished blocks to make

this fresh new table runner!

{Fabrics are Hometown, from Sweetwater for Moda.}

I selected some texts, polka dots and stripes

in red and gray, alternating light and dark blocks.

For the finishing touch,

I used a diagonal plaid print

from Sweetwater's Feed Company line.

It's just so yummy, bundled up in this sweet roll.

Can you believe it?
This table runner is actually reversible!

I hand-stitched the binding neatly,

thank goodness!

The backing is also from Feed Company...

a recipe text print!

I think I'll try at least one of these recipes out someday.

I didn't quilt the runner heavily,

and personally I prefer it that way.

I did some straight line stitching

but left the centers of the rings unstitched.

The fabrics are so pleasant,

and I like the way they are featured

in these large blocks.

I love the way these "modern" fabrics look

with my vintage tins...

and I'm sure the table runner would really set off

a contemporary dining room, too.

I have some more blocks left over,

so I think I'll make at least one, maybe two more table runners. 

This particular one is now up for sale

in my shop on Etsy, eamylove.

Come back soon!
