At Sew Day the other day, Amy showed me the most recent Fat Quarter shop box to which she subscribes.
For some crazy reason, I offered to make the table runner for her – just the piecing not the quilting. I know I have plenty of projects, but Amy is such a nice person and I knew she would never get it sewed together. I thought I could do it pretty quickly and she might be able to use it this Hallowe’en.
I am interested in trying that binding bat. I have the Fons & Porter binding ruler and it is a real pain to use, as I have said. The AllPeopleQuilt video is what I have been using recently and it is much easier to understand.
I was able to cut out all the pieces on Sunday. The annoying thing is that some of the fabrics are directional, so I have to be careful how I cut and use them.
I started piecing the little stars and that is taking forever. Once I finish those, I should be able to speed along.
That’s a pretty cool Halloween box, how nice of you to do the piecing of the runner for Amy. It’s a very cute pattern. Hope you get to try out the Binding Bat (looks very sharp!)
I haven’t tried it yet! I hope I get to try it, too. Perhaps I’ll make one of the table runners for your Hallowe’en collection. Stay tuned!
