I meant to post this last night for Sew & Tell Friday, I really did, but I'm cutting back on coffee and I really didn't drink that much to begin with, so I was too tired by the time the kids were asleep!
Sooo, I made this table runner for my dear friend Jenn's birthday! She received it yesterday and really loved it. I would have loved to make a whole quilt because these fabrics are so fabulous. These are the fabrics I used for this flying geese quilt here and Jenn LOVED them. She tried to find some at her JoAnn and I looked for more at mine, but to no avail. So, for her birthday, I dug out every scrap I could find, which were all strips and triangles, and came up with this!
It was really fun to do something improv, it's been awhile since I've done something like this, but it really is my favorite kind of quilting.
And this is the back. I used the triangles to make a zig-zag. I still have more little scraps, I probably could have made another one of these! so I asked Jenn if she wanted them and she does, so YAY, I get to get rid of something :)

Yep... I do LOVE it! It makes me smile every time I look at our table... which seems to be often! :) Thanks for the wonderful gift... I'm already starting to think about yours :)
