Last year my DD and her sweet hubby bought and restored a l921 Carftsman bungelow. She is trying to do all her decorating in an old style, and loves the vintage fabrics. I made her a little rose wall hanging with a single rose, figured she would put it in her craft room, but says it is for the dining room. Wants a table runner of the same pattern. The dining room has the original built-ins painted white with the drawers and cupboards, and she "shabby Chic-ed" it with a power sander, and now it matches the white dining set she sanded down. Looks very nice, even tho' it isn't my style. (Husband has the patience of a saint. But when her father reproduced the same built-ins in the living room around the fireplace, he said "definately not" to sanding them and making them look old.)
Anyway, this is my take on a table runner, from a quilt I had seen at a Quilt Show.

what's done is done. Roses and leaves are raw edge applique and then frayed with a wire brush.
