Design Wall Monday - Wintery runners

 What is on your design wall today?
https://smallquiltsanddollquilts.blogspot.com/

My design wall is mostly empty in anticipation of a long week of meetings and training for work, and almost no sewing time, except for maybe a little handwork in the evenings.  I did finish the long skinny Wintery runner on Sunday evening, and it will go into the mail this week.  It's 11" by 48", made especially to fit a buffet. 


The quilting is simple straight lines, and the backing is left over from a previous project.  

The color is very close to the actual icy blue in this photo.  It's such a pretty batik, with that touch of yellow.  The 5 blocks in the first runner are 6.5" versions of the full size blocks in this runner I'm still working on.  This one has only 3 blocks, and has squared off ends rather than points.  I'm planning to quilt this one pretty much like the smaller one, with simple straight lines.

That is a very unique setting with the blocks and sashing and adding the pointy ends!

Your skinny table runner turned out so pretty. Love the batiks, beautiful.

Both projects are really pretty. Congrats on getting one last finish before your training week.

I like your buffet runner. Light blues and white always make me think of winter too.

Beautiful fabrics in both runners. I really like the pointy ends on the first one.
