And then there were 3...........


I continued working on the hand finished binding of table runner #3 and got it finished last night.  They are all close to 15" x 31".









I remembered I had some blocks made with Australian fabrics.  I pulled them out yesterday and my note in the bag with them told me 3 were the same size and the 4th one is a little smaller.  When I put them in the bag I hadn't decided if I was going to make more blocks or just make a table runner out of the 3 that are the same size.  They are 12" finished blocks so I could add 1" sashing and 1.5" borders to make them into a table runner.

These finished up so lovely!! I like the African Stars; they would make a nice table runner, too...

You are making good headway on finishing the table runners. The Australian blocks are so pretty! I was thinking maybe you could cut the odd block in half, add a bit of fabric and place each half at each end of the three blocks. It would look more intentional rather than trying to get the odd block to fit in with the other three? Just a thought.

The found blocks will make a great runner.....Do you know what you're going to do with all these runners?

Your 3 tablerunners are a delight and will surely brighten 3 tables in their future!
What great Aussie stars and I look forward to seeing how you use them. The smaller block could go on the reverse side ... or not. :-)
We have a few blobs of snow here and there, but the wonderful meltdown continues, so maybe they'll soon be gone. There is now a lot of mud.

Hugs!
