I can’t remember the last time I made something for our home. I’m usually quilting for a show or a challenge, or for a custom order.\u00a0 Or even just to add to the inventory in my Etsy shop.\u00a0 But this table runner was made specifically for our new dining table.<\/p>\n

A few months ago I attended a VMQG sponsored workshop<\/a> with Marianne Haak<\/a>.\u00a0 Marianne demonstrated her QAYG techniques, and we all practiced making blocks that were about 18 x 18 inches.\u00a0 I made 3 blocks – with no specific plans for them.<\/p>\n

\"QAYG<\/a>\u00a0 \"QAYG<\/a><\/p>\n

When we recently bought a new dining room table with a dark gray glass top, it cried out for a bright and colorful table runner, and I remembered my QAYG blocks.\u00a0 I cut 2 of them down to about 12 inches wide, and referring to Marianne’s excellent tutorials<\/a>, I added a section to one block, then joined the various sections together.\u00a0\u00a0 The table runner is 69 inches long by 12 inches wide.\u00a0 In the left photo below, you can see it on the table.\u00a0 In the right photo, you can see it on my design wall – the front and the back.<\/p>\n
