My First DP9 project
#1
I wanted to make a table runner/topper for our Thanksgiving table. I needed something that was fast to do. I decided from all I had read on here that the DP9 was a fast and easy way to go.
So today I did my tabletopper. It isn't quilted yet. I plan to use a Christmas fabric on the back so I can get more use out of it.
Not sure how I will quilt it. Probably just some straight line quilting or SID, since I am not good at FMQ. For binding I have fabric that will blend in with the background in the apple fabric or I will use the lighter fabric in the blocks with the little bitty vines in it.

I almost forgot I should add a border fabric. Oh dear! Wonder what I will use. I could do the apples but should have a thin one before I put the apple on. Maybe a red thin border then the apples?

How about a thin gold border like the darkest part of the pear for a thin border then the apple for a bit wider border?

Your Table runner is so pretty!! :thumbup: I also like the D9P quilt block pattern, it' always tunrs out so unique looking. What a great idea putting Christmas fabric on the back. Way to go!!

Turned out very nice! I really really love the D9P. Quick and easy, lots of fun, and such a beautiful (and more complicated looking) outcome with minimal effort! lol
I think I would do a small red border, then the apples or vines, and bind in red.
