Zig Zag table runner complete!

Today I'm going to visit a friend whose husband had a stroke.

She has been having some modifications done to her home in preparation for him coming home (he's doing pretty well by the way).


I decided to complete this zig zag table runner and take to her when I visit.  It really turned out great!  This is made with charm squares and I used the pillow case method as instructed on the Missouri Star tutorial and then topstitched 1/4 inch all around and then did some free motion quilting too.
You can see the swirling, paisley free motion design on back.

Hi Sheri! I just watched the tutorial for this zig zag table runner and started looking around to see some that others have made. Yours is lovely with all that beautiful quilting. You have many great completed projects here on your blog. I've had a lovely visit, thanks.

Thanks for your kind complements. It was nice to have you visit. I've only just discovered your comment here, hence my lack of courtesy in thanking you in a timely manner (I'm an amateur)! I'm taking part in the crafty quilters 7 day, 7 blog Christmas in July tutorials. It will be fun so check them out. I posted the schedule on my 7/8 post. Thanks again!
