Easter Sunrise #1 is done

I bought the pattern for this table runner a couple of years ago at a quilt show.  The same booth was also selling the gradient fabric for the background and I bought a large enough piece to make 3 of these table runners.

And then I put it away and forgot I had it until this winter. No surprise there.  Then I stumbled across that bag and realized how easy this UFO would be to finish.  I cut and appliqued 2 of the 3 runners. And this week I got one of those quilted and bound.

I decided to keep the quilting very simple and used black thread to machine quilt just a few rays extending from the center cross. I also quilted a simple line against the black silhouettes.  Now the next step is to get the second one quilted and then decide if I'm actually going to make the 3rd one or not.

    The runner is exquisite - so vibrant and compelling. Your quilting is perfect for the design. Well done!

    I can see why you made such a commitment and bought enough for three. They would make great gifts. Beautiful!

    Beautiful table runners! I feel the same way when I get to the finish line. Do I really need 3 (or more)? What will I do with the other fabric? I'm sure you're happy to have a few more UFO's checked off the list.
