Woo hoo! A finish feels great, doesn't it? Well, this one is special as it is a gift for a friend.
I made this table runner from a Tweet Tweet charm pack, one of my favorite Moda lines in the past few years. When I saw Laura Jane's table runner from the Modern Christmas Table Runner swap, I was super inspired and wanted to make something similar. Laura's was a bit different than mine (read: more organized) as she had matching halves of the charm squares on either side of the lattice. I went for a super scrappy look and had charm squares scattered all over the place.
It's quilted in double lines along the white lattice strips. The back is one solid sheet of a red Tweet Tweet print that I can't find the name of....
I wish I remembered to take a photo f the back when it was out on the line. Too late now :)
That's the news. I'm so very happy to have a nice little finish like this. I love the pattern (thanks, LJ!) and I hope my friend is super surprised when it arrives at her house. Enjoy it!

Oooh this is gorgeous. I'm into table runners right now. May have to nick this idea ;-) and add it to the other 100 ideas I'm seeing table runner wise!
Gorgeous C! So bright and happy! Jxo
Lovely cheerful finish!

Wonderful, and cute fabrics! Kxx
Oh it looks brilliant Cindy! I think I would have to hang it in the garden like a trellis, as it looks right at home!
Very cute! Like Hadley's idea! But it can be trellis on the inside!
Very nice! And, yes, a finish brings a really good feeling!
