I was gifted some scraps.....
A few weeks ago I was gifted a med sized priority box of fabric by a generous member of this group. (Thanks again Sherry!!) It contained some finished blocks, some large pieces of fabric and a lot of misc smallish pieces (3” squares, 3x5 rectangles, partially assembled bits, etc.)
After I sorted the fabric, I thought it would be great fun to try and make the smallish pieces into table runners. (I’d never made a table runner) It was a super experience pulling together someone else’s work to make a new cohesive whole item. I had a blast!
Below are pictures of my first 2 table runners plus a bonus piece. The larger one is for a distant cousin who requested burgundy, green and beige. I had extra fabric in her colors so made her a hot mat too. The smaller one is just something I threw together. I am looking forward to making more runners with the remaining pieces.
