My very first UFO - Table Runner

I was inspired by the amazing colours and prints I found in a Moda Charm pack called Flutterby by Tula Pink http://quilthome.com/index.php/cPath/38_532_533

I chose a mix of the Olive and Teal fabrics, which came together as exactly "my" green.

I decided I wanted to make a table runner for my then non-existant exquisite dining table and picked a design I had seen in Springwood's Sew 'n' Save.

Where I got to:
- I got crazily motivated while in the nice cool aircon at my mums house - and I cut and busily sewed the top to completion.
- I have a perfectly sized gorgeous piece of "Warm and Natural" (I think) batting to use, that was left over from Haley's quilt.
- Once back in Welly, I found a backing fabric (that I thought was on special in Spotlight, but turned out it wasnt. Grrr)
- I hunted around for a matching green and brown stripe (preferably) to bind it with, but only came back with a green and brown check and a plain brown homespun (both, because I couldnt decide) but Im still not satisfied.
- I even bought the dining table and chairs for it to go on.
See?


Road blocks to finishing:
- I dont have a big and old enough flat hard surface to pin this on.... I'll have to go ask at the local patchwork store to use their tables...

I'll keep you posted...
