Project Quilting 13.5: Rhythm & Repetition

 


The PQ challenge this week was to incorporate a sense of rhythm and repetition into a project. It took a few days to let this idea simmer in me. 
I ended up going down the inspirational rabbit hole called Pinterest.

I had pinned a table runner from Bear Creek Quilting called Spring Table Runner 
that would do the trick. It uses all HST blocks and are paired with a dark/light combination.
Once the blocks are arranged, the colors line up diagonally.
The only change I made to the pattern was to cut my 
HST blocks to 3" rather than the called for 2.5".


I chose a fat eighth bundle I've had in my stash forever, 
called Grand Canal by Kate Spain.


Making the blocks was fun and easy!


Getting them sewn together was fun too! 
Not a single corner was cut off. 
For once.


Can you see the rhythm and repetition? 


Choosing a border is never easy. Love that peach color?
Yeah, me too. But I didn't have enough for the length.
Pea Green won out!


Simple straight line quilting in-the-ditch along all seams 
supplied just the right look.


Getting that binding on just right.


I added a small enamel label that says "handmade" to the corner. 


It fits perfectly on our bedroom dresser at 12" x 33.5".

I just love it! This pattern was so easy and fun to make, I know I'll be using it again. 
Thank you, Kim Lapacek of Persimon Dreams for creating these challenges!

  1. Kathy, that’s a great fabric bundle...I love the colors. I also love sewing half square triangles for projects. Your runner turned out looking really great.

  2. Your R&R table topper def says spring. So sweet. The dark red caught my eye first, then I saw the other repetitions. Studying the pattern of a piece is what I love about quilts.
