Wednesday Quilting – Table Runner Progress

Posted on 02/07/2024 by Andrew Reynolds

The snow we had on Sunday is mostly melted, but it’s still cold out there making it perfect indoor project weather.

I just finished the straight line quilting on my table runner. Here’s what it looks like right now:

This runner is about four feet long and about fourteen inches wide. The pattern is called, “Curvy Log Cabin.” Here’s a closeup of one of the dots:

It’s all done with rectangles and by varying the width of the different rectangles you get the illusion of a circle.

The quilting on the dots is all straight lines done with a walking foot on the machine. The next step is to do some quilting on the edge band. Here I’m going do some free motion work. We’ll see how well I do with that.

I’m trying some else out here — I’ve recorded some short video of the quilting process. If I do it right, I’m hoping to make a two minute recording of me quilting. Yeah, just what I need another hobby, but I’ve been wanting to do some video work for awhile and this is just a test to see if I really like that.

That’s it for this week – If you need me I’m back to reading manuals and figuring out feet.

    I haven’t the patience to create quilts but I certainly have the good sense to admire them!

    I really love the color palette you chose for this. It is stunning. I have mostly done hand-quilting and have never tried freestyle quilting. I am interested in seeing how you like it. :) Thank you for the preview. Have a wonderful weekend.

    I was picturing a fun spin on this design, where the first dot is one-quarter dark blue, the second one-half, the third three-quarters, and the fourth full. Kind of a progressive clock. The illusion of circles really does work!
