Modern Geometrics Table Runner

My ALYoF goal for September was blogged about here. Now the project is completed, and I can show the table runner in all its beauty:

The Modern Geometrics table runner, designed by Laura Jane Taylor, is completed. Straight line quilting emphasizes the chevrons.

The runner is approximately 12" x 48". I managed to catch the last daylight in the photo shoot. 

This is a positive table runner, so the chevrons have to point upwards, and not just be an ordinary V-sign.

Why not display the quilt on the steps, that is an obvious location for a table runner, isn't it?!

Now it needs wash and dry cycle before it will be a belated wedding gift.

This completes my ALYoF goal for September over at Melissa from Sew Bittersweet Designs.

Modern Buzz Saw Quilt

The Modern Buzz Saw quilt is finished. DS2 joined me in the photo shoot. It was a grey and cloudy day, with a few sprinkles in between, but the quilt brightens up the playground!

The sun came through the clouds a short while.

This is a really scrappy quilt, made of recycled shirts, scraps and stash. Even the backing was a piece of duvet cover that was exactly the right size!

The finshed quilt is approximately 52" x  66" after a wash and dry cycle.

The quilting is done in a big meander style, which gives the quilt a soft and cozy feeling. The binding is all scrappy, made of the Buzz Saw fabrics.

This quilt will be donated to the children's ward at my local hospital, and this is the 9th quilt I have made for them. It is always a good feeling to know that the quilts I make will give comfort to a child who needs it.

The quilt is also the third finish from my 2015 Q3 Finish Along list . Just a week left of the quarter, and I have completed 3 out of 4 projects, not bad even for me!

During the photo session I just had to take a picture of these 'Escaping Flowers':

They just don't want to stay locked up behind the neighbor's fence, but are 'dying' to catch the last light of summer before the fall really cools down the place!

Quilt Doodle BOM 2015 - September block

The end of September is approaching, and finally I managed to make my appliqué block for the month.

This block makes me want to sit down in front of a fireplace and read a good book (or two). Enjoying a delicious apple while doing it would make it perfect!

ALYoF Goal for September

Since I didn't accomplish my goal for August, I will try again this month:

My goal for September is to make my own version of the Modern Geometrics table runner (picture below) designed by Laura Jane Taylor.

Hope for better luck this month!
