I could even have handled the diamond shaped quilting on the strips, but the center of the strip side was more narrow and the diamonds would have extended into the black border. Didn't think I'd like that.
As it turned out - without batting the quilting doesn't really show anyway. Sometimes I get a bit tired of "live and learn"!

I taught a group of young mothers at our church how to do a reversible table runner. The pieces were very similar for both sides, just in appropriate fabrics for 2 holidays. We did an all-over random swirly loop-de-loop quilting on it, because of the non-matching 2 sides. We also put the thermal stuff inside so it can be used to put hot bowls, etc. on the table. It comes pretty thin, so it is easily foldable.
Just FYI -- maybe for next time.
I like your very lodgy looking backing! Very appropriate for it's new home! ;-) :thumbup:

Thanks for all the help! I have so many options for next time. I'm scared to death of any quilting except SID and diagonals. I know runners are a great choice to try more than this - the loop de loops mentioned, but ... have to be braver to try it.
This board is so awesome. I got enough affirmation to let me know what I had done was great, but also enough information for next time to expand what I currently know. Awesome! :)

I gave my friend her table runner today. She was delighted! I am SOOO proud of myself because I did not point out the block that is turned the wrong direction on the floral side. :) I doubt she'll ever notice and if she does she'll never say a word. The deer side was as fun for her as the "pretty side". This is fun stuff!
