Details......
I meant to take photos of the backs of the table runners for yesterday's post but forgot.
I was looking for a good green for the binding on this one and found one with both blue and green that looks really nice with it.
I also got the borders sewn onto the random plank quilt. I put 7" borders on the sides and 5" borders on the 2 ends. Actually I may trim down the end borders to 4 or 4.5" because it doesn't need to be this long. Before quilting it is 78" x 106" the way it is. It will probably shrink at least 2-3" with quilting.

Beautiful! You've got such a great assortment of colors and fabrics, Wanda!
Great combo. Looks good!
Did you quilt the table runners on the long arm or on your domestic machine? They are lovely and look like a lot of fun to do.
Just gorgeous! And the border on the plank quilt is perfect!
Beautiful backing fabric. I would have had a difficult time using that one. You know how I am about wanting to hold on to the pretty ones!
Your colors are so yummy! You keep all of us so inspired.
Fabulous border fabric - love how it makes the spacer squares pop.
Beautiful colors all around - love it!
Nice Sunday post... happy you showed the backs of the table runners, they are so pretty. And random plank's border is stunning.

Got to love all the hot pink.
Once again, you just pulled the perfect border out of your stash!
I should certainly love to shop your stash one day... simply gorgeous!
Love the plank qult
A few years ago you listed the sizes of pieces you cut - I followed your suggestion and have a small collection - your lovely work is inspiring me to set down my knitting needles for a bit so that some of my parts-&-pieces can become something ?beautiful?
Hope some of your creativity has been absorbed by this quilter.
Have a wonderful day and week to come
Hugs
Those bindings on the table runners are just perfect! I like your plank border, too. Stash shopping is definitely the way to go, especially in the wee small hours of the morning. Only problem is - - - that stash tends to keep growing!
Backs can be as pretty as fronts! Love the border fabric.
Love your eye for color. You've inspired me to make a random plank quilt. I've had a package of about pre-cut batik strips laying around here forever and I think it will be the perfect thing for a "quiet" plank quilt. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Beautiful!
It is all beautiful. Thank you for showing the process of each.
Your random plank quilts are calling my name, I fear--as if I need anything more on my "want to make" list. When I'm digging in my stash, pulling fabrics out for a specific project, I'm trying to plan ahead. I'm cutting various width strips from them, as long as they're on the cutting mat. Thinking and planning ahead --makes sense. Wish it hadn't taken me 10 years to figure that out.
Your projects, large or small, always inspire me.
Lovely stuff, I especially like the blue and green.
