Runner or art quilt?
I made this table runner because I did not want to cut the fabric, because I really love it. Since the background is black, I used black thread to quilt it, using a walking foot. I did curvy lines and spaced the stitching with the edge of the foot, about 1/4 inch. The close seams and curves gave it lots of texture and dimension. The back is a repurposed tablecloth. The fabric is from Andover fabrics and is based on an original textile by Kathy Hall that was displayed at Museum of New Mexico Museum of International Folk Art. It is called Tree of Life. After I finished it and studied it, it seems to want to be an art quilt instead of a runner. I need to ponder some more.

This will make a lovely runner. It would not qualify as an art quilt in any show or art displays. Making it into an art quilt would require adding a lot of embellishment, etc. etc.
