I sliced the strata that was sewn into a tube and unpicked a seam in a different place on each of the 20 slices. This is the layout on the design wall before I started sewing them together.
I decided I will make 2 table runners and have sewn one together. It lost 4.5" in width with the seams sewn (compared to the layout).
Many of my cactus plants have buds and I saw the first blooms yesterday. This is a piece I saved off a dying white cactus 2 years ago.
I decided to move the other two that are closest to blooming over to the coffee table to join the white one. One of them is a champagne color and the other a deep rose. After I took this photo I moved a pale pink one over there too.

cacti very pretty...i had one long ago that was big and bloomed profusely...
Very nice -- both the new project and the Christmas cactus.
Do you have any tips for keeping the buds on the cacti and getting them to bloom? I just bout one from Trader Joes and it's covered with buds but I see a few have fallen off already.
Gorgeous stratas you've sewn, Wanda--They will make beautiful table runners...
31 this morning--no frost visible--but the temp has risen to 55--partly cloudy today. I walked on our treadmill and I am hoping to be able to get the binding on one of my "Snowball" quilts...
I see your cacti are even blooming ;))))--I have little teeny buds sprouting on mine and I purchased a new two-color one--peach and orange--just lovely and in bloom now...

Your sensational strata cut into two table runners makes for a spectacular showing. And a melody of Cacti’s blooming on your tea table is a sight to behold. ~ JJM
Love your table runner fabrics and the gradation of shades. These table runners will be a joy to use!
Your cacti are looking good!
Hugs!
Many of my cati have buds, but none are blooming quite yet. Wo't be long, though.

nice to see your Xmas cactus - I will keep an eye out for a white one and will start looking this week. Pretty colors on the new strata
That strata is stunning. Nice to see the saved piece of cactus blooming.
My two cacti from last year have done very little. I bought some Christmas Cactus fertilizer and have my fingers crossed as I can see a few tiny buds starting to show color. Good decision on the strata (2 table runners) and what a lot of lovely florals!
