I worked on this little runner over the weekend!
I got the whole thing quilted and decided to try my hand at machine binding again.
I did a lot better on my machine binding this time and I was pleased with the way it turned out.
I had a lot of fun quilting this runner. By the end of the runner, I was really getting the hang of the paisley design. I really felt like doing the paisley design was more natural for me than doing the stipple design. It looks really difficult, but you are honestly just shadowing over and over the same shape. I also liked the fact that I knew exactly where I was going next when doing this design.
Is it bad that I almost like the back of the runner better than the front? ;)
It is so fun to look at the back and see the quilting pattern so clearly.
I really like how fun and bright it turned out and I can't wait to display it during Christmas!
Are you working on a Christmas quilt or project?
If so, I would love to see it! Just post a link to your project in a comment! :)

Beautiful quilting and such ahoy colors for the holiday! Great job on staying with the quilting! I'm working on a snowman basket for my MIL. Here from Quilt Story!
Your quilting looks awesome! I have fabric I bought to make a tree skirt last year, but it's still sitting...too many other project to finish first. =(
What a cute table runner! I love the quilting--the paisley is beautiful, but intimidating to me! However, maybe I'll give it a shot, just to see if it's as easy as you say. :)
Lovely quilting with the paisley design. I need to try that out.
Love the fabrics and you know I am into triangles right now:) Perfect for the runner. Might have to try this one:)
Beautiful quilting--I would want to stare at the back too, if I had been able to accomplish that!
