I took this table runner flimsy home after the fabric sale and just this week decided to get it finished. I had previously pulled fabrics which I thought would work well for the back. I did not have enough of any to make the whole back so I thought I would piece one. As I worked with the fabrics it occurred to me that the quilting on the front would not compliment the back so I abandoned the idea and found cotton fabric in my stash to back this one. I added polyester batting and stitched all the way around leaving an opening so I could turn it inside out. Worked out really well!! I hand stitched the opening, top stitched all the way around and then added lines of quilting that followed the outline of the squares. It finished 11" x 42" to the tips of the points. Glad to have it finished. I will return it to the bin when I am in town next time. It has been very nice to be sewing again.
