Loopy Academy - Fabric - Semester 2 - Project 2 - Table runner using solid fabrics
I started with project 2 this time. I originally planned to just use a jelly roll, but when I was part of the way through making it, I decided I didn't like it at all. So, I went searching for a different pattern and ended up buying a pattern on Craftsy called Sidewalks & Squares table runner. The piecing was very straightforward and easy, but then I spent a lot of time on the quilting part. Rather than just plain old quilting, I decided to do different designs in the different sections. I got a ton of practice with my free motion quilting - I even did most of the straight lines with free motion until I got tired at the end and put on the walking foot. When I look at it closely, I can easily tell which end was done with the walking foot. I also got very good at burying my knots. I'm really pretty happy with the way it turned out.
