Turning this selection of prints from the Town Square collection by Holly Taylor for Moda into a long log-cabin-block runner was the plan from the moment I first saw this fabric collection. I have always wanted to work up a one color quilt. These blues were the perfect opportunity! (Blue is my favorite color : )
These blocks worked up so fast. Pieces can be cut and pieced in the traditional piecing method, but I chose to strip piece these. I tried this method with Autumn Beauty Runner and loved how quickly the blocks went together. Again, I pre-pressed the fabric with Best Press and came up the same results - crisp, flat blocks!
Straight line quilting was just the perfect touch - clean and simple. Love it! Makes me smile every time I walk past it : ) Hmm, is that totally silly or totally understandable???
I also love a good quilt roll : ) and 84" makes a good one!
This blue-loving family couldn't be happier with how this runner turned out. It was such a joy working on this quilt. My "winter blues" are now history. So, so glad I pushed through my creating doldrum and made that first cut.
Doubles as a bedrunner - two for one!

This is beautiful! Love how you arranged all the fabric colors in each block!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous table runner and I am wondering if you have the instructions or sizes of each piece to make this. It fits in with what I am trying to do in our house. Thank you for showing us all the beautiful things you make. Ann Belcham (annmade2@gmail.com)
