I used a pattern called Summer Stars Table Runner from Pieces of Me by Janelle Wind, and like all her patterns, it was straightforward and easy to understand. It must have been a good sewing day for me too, because the quilting didn't involve any reverse sewing (aka unpicking LOL)...which is always a bonus!
I quilted in a combination of in-the-ditch and echo quilting, and actually quite enjoyed it...quilting is not normally my favourite thing to do :)
The backing makes me very happy (polkadots do that for me LOL) ....it's from the Lotus Collection by Amy Butler, and I picked it up at a closing down sale for a bargain price, and used it the exact same day it came through my front door...a miracle for sure!Now...what to start on next?

It looks wonderful! I did some patchwork yesterday too. I have a layer cake and am being daring and making it up as I go along. So far, so good.
Don't you love that feeling when something is finished and you can use it?
Just delightful Susan! It looks beautiful with the matching tea set. It is going to put a smile on your face every time you sit at the table.
Perfection :)
Very nice thanks for sharing!!!
oohh that is lovely! Kids playing in the pool - I am green with envy here sitting in front of a fire with the freezing wind blowing and rain pouring outside.

That's adorable! So colorful and sweet. Nice work!
I love it Suzi!! And doesn't it make your heart happy!!
Suzie, it's beautiful! I absolutely love it! It's just perfect! I just went to a quilt show yesterday here in the town I live in (Lodi, CA) and I've got quilting on the brain! I was so inspired I bought a set of instructions and a whole stack of fabric to make a new quilt! Oh boy... hope I don't regret it!
Oh, and the chocolate & tea sound delightful as well. That's a combo that can't be beat!
Yep want me one of those. Sewed to perfection as usual. Its fantastic.

This table runner is absolutely beautiful and something to cherish! When I EVENTUALLY get into quilting, I will be making a table runner as my first project I think :D
