Scrappy Summer Sew Along - Sweet and Simple Table Runner

I made this Scrappy Happy table runner, you can find the tutorial at Bee in my Bonnet here.

After sewing all the Easy Corner Triangles, I had these triangles left over.

They were big enough to cut l l/2" squares.

I layed out all my little squares, plus others that I retrieved from my l l/2" square box.

I used my Alphabitties and labelled all the colored sections.

I had never used them before, and discovered that they were invaluable.

I always get my little blocks mixed up and out of order.

Not this time!  Thank you Alphabitties!

You can find them at the Fat Quarter Shop, and they're very

inexpensive :)

Here's my table runner all sewn together, and waiting for the border.

I used a Lakehouse dot for the background, one I've had for a few years.

I'm making this table runner for my daughter in law.

She got a new hall table and I offered to make her a table runner.
She wanted me to use some bright colors.

The border I used tones down the bright colors a bit and it has inspirational quotes that add whimsy!

The border is 2" finished, here is another closeup of all the cute little prints that I used.

Scrappy squares can be very meaningful.

I can tell you what project I used each and every piece of fabric for.

I'm a sucker for polka dots and cherries and gingham :)

Here's the finished table runner.

I am going to call the repair shop today and see if my sewing machine has been fixed.

I really miss it and have a long line of projects waiting to be quilted.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll see you again in a couple of days :)
