I have been busy making three fall table runners from some hand dyed fabric (SELC Fabrics, LLC) I bought at the Michigan Quilt Network show at Lansing in September. I combined the beautifully dyed fabric with some neutral batiks I had on hand. The first one is tessellating leaves:
I used a realistic leaf veining pattern to quilt the shapes:
The quilting looks nice on the hand dyed used for the backing. I gave this one to my daughter.:
The second table runner is pieced in the traditional maple leaf pattern. I gave this one to my friend, Laura.:
The third is just a little whirlygig pattern. You may have noticed the pieces of hand dyed fabrics being used getting smaller and smaller! I kept this one for myself.:
