Ready for Binding!

My birthday was last week, and as a present to myself I decided to take a couple days and quilt some of my own projects for a change.  It felt really good to do that.  I have had these table runners pieced and waiting.  This one was made with charm squares using a pattern from Anka's Treasures book On The Run Again.  It's the one on the cover.  I quilted it with a ruler and straight lines in the center stars and free motion swirls all around.

Also from the same book, this next one has a contemporary feel.  I just quilted a grid of squares.  I spy two flamingos!

Several posts back I shared the Maple Star blocks I was making from the Moda Fresh Cut fabrics.  I made six blocks using charm squares along with coordinating fabric for the background and border.  I really liked the way these stars turned out.  I made two table runners like this.  They are quilted edge to edge with my pattern Camillas.  So pretty!

I had leftover fabric from the Maple Stars, and so I was experimenting with some small Dresden plate ideas, and this is what I came up with.  There was not as much contrast between the Dresden plates and the background as I wanted, but I was just using the charm squares I had.  I think it is pretty in a shabby chic sort of way.  I did some free motion on this one which was really fun!

This final table runner I made using my Scrap Crazy 6 templates with jelly roll strips and a yellowish cream background.  I quilted with a little ruler work in the diamonds and other free motion designs.

I took these photos outside in the grass today, and they sure didn't come out as nicely as I would have liked.  I'll have to keep experimenting with photography.  Anyhow...

Now I have some binding to do, and that will be more fun!  I enjoy doing that by hand.  It's relaxing to me.  When they're finished these will probably be added to my Etsy shop.
