Small quilt and table runners

Small homespun quilt

 

Here's the picture that was supposed to be in last night's post.  Right before I went to bed last night, I took out some of the dark colors and added more red and blue. 

I was banned from the computer today because my hubby was waiting for a phone call!  So I made two table runners with the squares I took out of this quilt last night.  I wanted to try a couple of different ideas to see which I liked best. 

We did get an inch of much needed rain last night.  Yeah!  I won't have to water anything tonight.  And it has been much cooler.  I do need to refill my hummingbird feeders.  I bought another one the last time I went shopping because I couldn't keep the other two full.  It looks like a busy airport out there!

 

Navy blue and off-white table runner

Here's my first sample of one of my ideas.  This one is made with a navy blue and tan check homespun and an off-white solid on top, off-white flannel on the back, and batting in the middle.  The border is off-white flannel.  This is the way I usually make my runners, except I use muslin for the backing and border. 

 

 

 

 

Dark olive green and off-white table runner

 

 

And here is my experiment.  This one has a dark olive green homespun check and off-white top, an off-white flannel back, and an off-white muslin piece of the same size in the middle, with a muslin border. 

What do you think?  It is for the small homespun quilt that will be about 40 inches square when it is finished. 

I will list both of the table runners on Etsy, so you can go there if you want to see more pictures.
