One last post for this week. I wanted to show you what I did with those three Granny Squares I blogged about earlier. I made them into this table runner for my DIL. I chose this picture because it shows the quilting. (Click on the picture for a larger view) I did straight line quilting, which turned out to be a bit more of a challenge than I anticipated. Maybe it is larger than the other pieces I have used this kind of quilting on, but even though I spray basted AND pinned, I still managed to get some puckers in the back. (And, No, I didn’t take a picture of that!) Anyway, from the front I don’t think it looks too bad.
There is a lot going on at the
Attic Window tomorrow. Buffie has a paper piecing class and Lee Ann has a bag making class. This dreary weather we are having in Michigan has me needing a pick up! How about you? I think the cure for rainy weather blues it a stop in at the shop and pick up some of those beautiful new fabrics that have just arrived. Hope to see you there!
Diary of a Quilter has a Star Quilt Block Tutorial.

I love the way the table runner came out. Great use of the blocks. While I'm here I want to thank you for all of the great links you provide. Lots of great blogs and ideas I would never have know about.
Lovely! Hope you have a great time at the bag class with Stephanie. My copy of the pattern and the hardware kit arrived today.
Your table runner turned out great! I like it a lot!
It was great seeing you today. Next time, maybe we can sit together. :-)
Big hugs. Meant to tell you to say hi to your mom for me. Hope she is doing well.
By the way, you know that BOM I told you to keep me posted on? :-) (thanks for doing that)....I'm really interested in using that linen she was using, too!
I LOVE this Caroll! You did a great job! The quilting is wonderful. How close did you put the pins? For close straight line quilting, I use a ton of pins....that should have done the trick.
Your granny squares look wonderful! I love the quilting, and who will ever care about a few little puckers! LOL
